English translation

1265. 'Abdullāh bin Sarjis narrated: "A man came while the Prophet ﷺ was praying Subh. The man prayed two Rak'ahs, then joined (the prayer) with the Prophet ﷺ. When (the Prophet ﷺ) turned around, he said: 'O so- and-so, which of the two is your prayer: The one you prayed by yourself, or the one that you prayed with us?" (Sahih)

Arabic text

1265 - حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ، فَصَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ، قَالَ: «يَا فُلَانُ، أَيَّتُهُمَا صَلَاتُكَ؟ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ وَحْدَكَ، أَوِ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا؟»

Commentary

While a group prayer is being performed, one may not perform any non-obligatory prayer, even if one is sure one can, after finishing one's prayer, join the group during the first Rak'ah.
