Arabic text

1121 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، وَسَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَةً فَلْيَصِلْ إِلَيْهَا أُخْرَى»

Commentary

a. In the case where a person fails to arrive at the mosque in time, and is able to catch only one Rak'ah with the Imam, he will be considered to have performed the Friday prayer in congregation. He should, therefore, perform just one more Rak'ah to complete his prayer. b. There is a hint in it, that if the person concerned has failed to catch even one full Rak'ah, he will have missed the Friday prayer. He, therefore, shall perform four Rak'ah as for Zuhr instead of the two prescribed for the Friday prayer.
