If somebody is leading the Ṣalāt (prayer) and (in the meanwhile) the first (usual) Imām comes, the Ṣalāt is valid whether the former retreats or does not retreat.

684. Narrated Saḥl bin Sa'd As-Sā'idī رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger went to establish peace among Bani 'Amr bin 'Auf. In the meantime the time of Aṣ-Ṣalāt (the prayer) was due and the Mu'adh-dhīn went to Abū Bakr and said, "Will you lead the Ṣalāt (prayer), so that I may pronounce the Iqāma?" Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه replied in the affirmative and led the Ṣalāt. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came while the people were still offering Ṣalāt and he entered the rows of the praying people till he stood in the (first row). The people clapped their hands. Abū Bakr never glanced sideways in his Ṣalāt but when the people continued clapping, Abū Bakr looked and saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ beckoned him to stay at his place. Abū Bakr رضي الله عنه raised his hands and thanked Allāh for that order of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and then he retreated till he reached the first row. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ went forward and led the Ṣalāt. When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ finished the Ṣalāt, he said, "O Abū Bakr! What prevented you from staying when I ordered you to do so?" Abū Bakr replied, "How can Ibn Abī Quḥāfa (Abū Bakr) dare to lead the Ṣalāt in the presence of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ?" Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Why did you clap so much? If something happens to anyone during his Ṣalāt he should say Subḥān Allāh(1). If he says so he will be attended to, and clapping is for women.”

684 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيِّ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَنِي عَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ لِيُصْلِحَ بَيْنَهُمْ، فَحَانَتِ الصَّلاَةُ، فَجَاءَ المُؤَذِّنُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَقَالَ: أَتُصَلِّي لِلنَّاسِ فَأُقِيمَ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ فَصَلَّى أَبُو بَكْرٍ، فَجَاءَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالنَّاسُ فِي الصَّلاَةِ، فَتَخَلَّصَ حَتَّى وَقَفَ فِي الصَّفِّ، فَصَفَّقَ النَّاسُ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لاَ يَلْتَفِتُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ التَّصْفِيقَ التَفَتَ، فَرَأَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَنِ امْكُثْ مَكَانَكَ»، فَرَفَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَدَيْهِ، فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا أَمَرَهُ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَأْخَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى فِي الصَّفِّ، وَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَصَلَّى، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ: «يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَثْبُتَ إِذْ أَمَرْتُكَ» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: مَا كَانَ لِابْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا لِي رَأَيْتُكُمْ أَكْثَرْتُمُ التَّصْفِيقَ، مَنْ رَابَهُ شَيْءٌ فِي صَلاَتِهِ، فَلْيُسَبِّحْ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا سَبَّحَ التُفِتَ إِلَيْهِ، وَإِنَّمَا التَّصْفِيقُ لِلنِّسَاءِ»
