Arabic text

1121 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ»

    [1] Abū Dāwud heard this narration from Muslim bin Ibrāhīm, here he is saying that Jarīr is Jarīr bin Ḥāzim, but he is not sure if Muslim narrated it to him like that or not.

Commentary

If one is late but catches one Rak'ah of the congregational prayer, be it Friday, or any another congregational prayer, or he catches one Rak'ah of a prayer before its time is over when alone, then he has, in fact, caught that prayer. In the case of the Friday prayer, if he caught only one Rak'ah, then he prays a second one along with it. If he misses all of the Friday prayer he has to perform four Rak'ahs for Zuhr.
