1123 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ كَثِيرِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْأَيْلِيُّ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا، فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ»

Commentary
One interpretation of the Hadith is that anyone who catches one Rak'ah shall not be deprived of the reward of prayer in congregation. Another interpretation, is that if he has the time to do just one Rak'ah before the end of the prescribed time, his prayer shall not be considered as missed. For instance, a man has just completed one Rak'ah for the Fajr prayer when the sun rose, or else he had performed just one Rak'ah for 'Asr before the sun went down. In such cases, he should complete his prayer. Such delays are not, however, acceptable except for a valid reason or excuse.
