English translation
577. Yazīd bin 'Āmir narrated: "I came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was praying, so I sat down and did not join them in the prayer. So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ (finished the prayer and) turned around, and saw me sitting. He said: 'Have you not accepted Islam, O Yazīd?' I said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allāh, I have accepted Islam.' He said: 'So what has prevented you from joining the people in their prayer?' He replied: 'I prayed in my house, since I thought that you had already prayed.' So he said: 'If you come to the prayer and find that the people (gathered for it), then pray with them. Even if you have prayed, this will be (counted as) a voluntary prayer, and that will be the obligatory one.'" (Ḍa'īf)
