English translation

893.[4] Abū Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "If you come to the prayer, and find us in prostration, then go into prostration, but do not count it as anything. And whoever catches the Rak'ah he has caught the prayer." (Da'if)

Arabic text

893 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ، أَنَّ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْحَكَمِ، حَدَّثَهُمْ، أَخْبَرَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْعَتَّابِ، وَابْنِ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا جِئْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَنَحْنُ سُجُودٌ فَاسْجُدُوا، وَلَا تَعُدُّوهَا شَيْئًا، وَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ الرَّكْعَةَ، فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ»

Commentary

A person joining a congregational prayer after it has started, should begin his prayer by saying Takbīrat Al-Ihrām (the opening Takbīr) and following the Imām in whatever condition he is in.
