683. It was reported from Al-Ḥasan, that Abū Bakrah narrated that he once entered the Masjid and the Prophet of Allāh ﷺ was in Rukū'. He said: "So I bowed outside of the row (i.e., without joining the row). The Prophet ﷺ said (after the prayer): 'May Allāh increase your eagerness, but do not repeat it.'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
"Do not repeat it." The scholars differ in interpreting the various versions of this Hadīth. Upon consideration of the various wordings, it appears to mean, that one should not rush to the prayer, as in some narrations: "When you come for prayer come with honor and dignity and whatever part of the prayer you catch, join it, and whatever is left, complete it." See number 572, while it is clear from the name of the chapter, that the author is using these two narrations to prove not bowing outside of the rows.
