1236. Hamzah bin Mughirah bin Shu'bah narrated that his father said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ lagged behind (on a journey) and we reached the people when 'Abdur Rahmān bin 'Awf had already led them in one Rak'ah of the prayer. When he realized that the Prophet ﷺ was there, he wanted to step back, but the Prophet ﷺ gestured to him that he should complete the prayer. He said: 'You have done well; do the same in the future.'" (Sahih)
1236 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ بْنِ شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: تَخَلَّفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ وَقَدْ صَلَّى بِهِمْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَكْعَةً، فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَهَبَ يَتَأَخَّرُ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُتِمَّ الصَّلَاةَ، قَالَ: «وَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ، كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلْ»

a. The incident happened during the battle of Tabuk. b. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had gone away from the caravan to relieve himself. Mughtrah bin Shu'bah had carried water for him. By the time he ﷺ returned, one Rak'ah of the Fajr prayer had already been completed. (Sahih Muslim: 105). c. The prayer was probably started since nobody knew how long the Prophet ﷺ would take before he comes back. d. The Companions felt that they had probably erred in not waiting for the Prophet ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ, therefore, comforted them, by stating that it was a correct decision to start the prayer on time.
