" صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الفَجْرَ، فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ انْحَرفَ فَرَأى رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ فَدَعَاهُمْا فَجِئ بِهِما ترعدُ فَرَائِصُهُما فَقَالَ: مَا مَنَعكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيا مَعَ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّيْنا فِى رِحَالِنَا، قَالَ: فَلَا تَفْعَلَا، إِذا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِى رَحْلِهِ ثُمَ أدْرَكَ الصلاةَ مَعَ الإِمَام فَليُصَلِّهَا مَعَهُ فَإِنَهَا لَهُ نَافِلَة".

Collected by Nasāʾī, Abū Dāwūd, Aḥmad, Ḥākim, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīI attended Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in Masjid al-Khayf. When he finished praying, he saw two men at the back of the people who had not prayed with him. He said: “Bring them here.” So they were brought to him, trembling. He said: “What kept you from praying with us?” They said: ‘O Messenger of Allah ﷺ we had already prayed in our homes.' He said: “Do not do that. If you have already prayed in your homes, then you come to a masjid in which there is a congregation, then pray with them, and it will be a voluntary prayer for you."
شَهِدْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلاَةَ الْفَجْرِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلاَتَهُ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ فِي آخِرِ الْقَوْمِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَهُ قَالَ عَلَىَّ بِهِمَا فَأُتِيَ بِهِمَا تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنَا قَالاَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا قَالَ فَلاَ تَفْعَلاَ إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمَا فِي رِحَالِكُمَا ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُمَا مَسْجِدَ جَمَاعَةٍ فَصَلِّيَا مَعَهُمْ فَإِنَّهَا لَكُمَا نَافِلَةٌ
Yazid prayed along with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he was a young boy. When he (the Prophet) had prayed there were two persons (sitting) in the corner of the mosque; they did not pray (along with the Prophet). He called for them. They were brought trembling (before him). He asked: What prevented you from praying along with us? They replied: We have already prayed in our houses. He said: Do not do so. If any of you prays in his house and finds that the imam has not prayed, he should pray along with him; and that will be a supererogatory prayer for him.
عَنْ أَبِيهِأَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ غُلاَمٌ شَابٌّ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى إِذَا رَجُلاَنِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَدَعَا بِهِمَا فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنَا قَالاَ قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا فَقَالَ لاَ تَفْعَلُوا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الإِمَامَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُ نَافِلَةٌ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed Fajr in Mina, then he turned and saw two men behind the people. So, he called them and they came to him trembling. He said, "What prevented you from praying with the people?" They said, "We had already prayed in our camp." He said, "Do not do so if one of you has prayed in his camp, and then he catches up with the prayer led by the imam, then he should still pray it with him, for it will be a voluntary prayer for him."
صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ بِمِنًى فَانْحَرَفَ فَرَأَى رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءَ النَّاسِ فَدَعَا بِهِمَا فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ؟ فَقَالَا قَدْ كُنَّا صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرِّحَالِ قَالَ فَلَا تَفْعَلَا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا مَعَهُ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُنَافِلَةٌ

ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِأَنَّ الزَّجْرَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ لَمْ يُرَدْ بِهِ كُلُّ الصَّلَوَاتِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَوْقَاتِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed, then when he finished his prayer, he saw two men behind the people. He commanded them to be brought forward and it thundered upon their arrival. He said to them, "What prevented you from praying with us?" They said, "O Prophet of Allah, we prayed in our journey." Then they turned towards each other and the Prophet ﷺ said, "If you have already prayed in your journey and then you catch up with the congregational prayer, then pray, for it will be considered as a voluntary prayer for you."
صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ إِذَا هُوَ بِرَجُلَيْنِ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ النَّاسِ فَأَمَرَ فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ لَهُمَا «مَا حَمَلَكُمَا عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنْا» قَالَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا ثُمَّ أَقْبَلْنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمَا فِي رِحَالِكُمَا ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُمَا الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلِّيَا فَإِنَّهَا لَكُمَا نَافِلَةٌ»
ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُدْحِضِ قَوْلَ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ لَمْ تَكُنْ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ

[Machine] "On the authority of Ya'la bin 'Ata' al-Ta'ifi, who narrated from Jabir bin Yazid bin al-Aswad, who narrated from his father, he said: We prayed Fajr prayer with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He turned around and saw two men behind the people, so he called them and they approached him trembling. Their clothes were disheveled. He asked them, 'What prevented you from praying with the people?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we prayed on the way.' He said, 'Do not do so when any one of you has already prayed during his journey and then catches up with the prayer led by the imam. Rather, pray it with him, for it is a voluntary (nafl) prayer.'"

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ prayed a prayer, then when he finished his prayer, he found two men behind the people. So he ordered them and they came trembling. Their garments were shaking. He said, "What caused both of you not to pray with us?" They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we already prayed in our tents. Then we came here." The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you both pray in your tents and then catch up with the congregation, then pray, for it will be an additional (optional) prayer for you."

[Machine] We prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the Fajr prayer in Mina, when suddenly two men at the back of the mosque did not pray. The Messenger then called for them, and they were brought to him trembling. He asked them, "What prevents you from praying with us?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we have already prayed in our tents." He said, "Do not do that. If you have already prayed in your tents and then you come to the imam and he has not prayed, then pray with him, for it will be an extra prayer for you."

[Machine] He was with the Prophet ﷺ during the Farewell Pilgrimage. He prayed the Fajr prayer in the Mosque of al-Khaif. When he had finished his prayer, he saw two men at the back of the mosque. They were brought to him by thunder. He said, "Why did you not pray with us?" One of them said, "O Messenger of Allah, we prayed while traveling, then we came while you were praying, so we sat down." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you prays in his riding mount and then comes while the Imam is praying, let him pray with him, for it will be a voluntary prayer for him.
أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ فَصَلَّى الْفَجْرَ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ إِذَا رَجُلَانِ فِي مُؤَخَّرِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَأُتِيَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا قَالَ مَا لَكُمَا لَمْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنَا فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا ثُمَّ جِئْنَا وَأَنْتَ تُصَلِّي فَجَلَسْنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُم فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَالْإِمَامُ يُصَلِّي فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُ فَإِنَّهَا لَه نَافِلَةٌ
[Machine] "I prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the morning in the Mosque of al-Khayf in Mina. When he finished, he faced the people and saw two men in the back of the crowd who did not pray with the people. He said, 'Bring these two men to me.' They were brought to him trembling. He asked them, 'What prevented you from praying with the people?' They said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we had already prayed in our tents.' He said, 'Do not do so when one of you has prayed in his tent and then catches the congregational prayer. He should pray it with them, for it will be a voluntary prayer for him.'"

[Machine] I witnessed the Prophet ﷺ praying in the Mosque of Khayf. After he finished the prayer, he saw two men sitting aside and shivering because of the cold. The Prophet ﷺ asked them, "What prevented you from joining the prayer?" They replied, "O Messenger of Allah, we prayed in our traveling clothes." He said, "When you pray in your traveling clothes and catch up with the people in prayer, then pray with them. And the prayer that you prayed in your traveling clothes is the obligatory prayer."

[Machine] "We prayed the Fajr prayer with the Prophet ﷺ in Mina, and then two men came and stood discreetly. The Prophet ﷺ ordered them to be brought forward, and they presented themselves with their turbans raised high. He asked them, 'What prevented you from praying with the people? Are you Muslims?' They replied, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah, we had already prayed at our campsite.' He said to them, 'If you have already prayed at your campsite and then come to join the imam, then pray with him, as your prayer will be considered a voluntary prayer.'"

صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْفَجْرَ بِمِنًى فَانْحَرَفَ فَأَبْصَرَ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّاسِ فَدَعَا بِهِمَا فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّيْنَا فِي الرَّحْلِ قَالَ لَا تَفْعَلُوا إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَلْيُصَلِّهَا مَعَ الْإِمَامِ فَإِنَّهَا لَهُ نَافِلَةٌ هَكَذَا
"عَنْ يزِيدَ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ قَالَ: حَجَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَجةَ الوَداع، فَصَلِّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الفَجْرِ، فَلَما صَلى اسْتَقْبَلَ الناسَ بِوَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بَرجُلَيْنِ فِى أُخْرَيَاتِ المَسْجِدِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَ الناسِ، فَقَالَ إئتُونِى بِهَذِيْنِ الرَّجُلَيْنِ قَالَ: مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أنْ تُصَليا مَعَ النَّاسِ؟ قَالَا: قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا فِى الرحالِ، قَالَ: فَلا تَفْعَلا، فَإِذَا صَلَّى أحَدُكُمْ فِى رَحْلِهِ ثُمَّ أدْرَكَ الصَّلاةَ فَلْيُصَلِّها مَعَهم فَإِنَّهَا نَافِلَةُ مَا بَقِىَ".
