858. It was narrated from Mihjan that he was in a gathering with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ when the Adhân was called for prayer. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ got up, then he came back and Mihjan was still sitting there. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: “What kept you from praying? Are you not a Muslim man?” He said: “Yes, but I had already prayed with my family.” The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to him: “When you come you should pray with the people even if you have already prayed.” (Hasan)

Commentary
If someone performs prayer solitarily thinking that he would perhaps not be able to catch the congregation, or that perhaps the congregation is over, or that he will not be able to go the mosque, etc., but if he thereafter comes to the mosque and finds the congregational prayer to still be in progress, he should repeat his prayer in congregation, so that he could gain the reward of praying in congregation.
