English translation

559. It was narrated from Sālim that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Whoever catches up with a Rak'ah of one of the prayers has caught up with it, except that he has to make up the portion that he missed.” (Saḥīḥ)

Arabic text

٥٥٨ - أَخْبَرَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ التِّرْمِذِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو بَكْرٍ ، عَنْ ‌سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ ‌يُونُسَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَالِمٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَدْرَكَ رَكْعَةً مِنْ صَلَاةٍ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ، فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَهَا، إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَقْضِي مَا فَاتَهُ».

Commentary

1. The Aḥādīth preceding this Hadīth, were concerning the Fajr and ‘Asr prayers. The Aḥādīth occurring under this chapter are regarding common prayer. It means that whichever prayer’s one Rak’ah is offered within its time and the remaining Rak’ahs are also completed along with it, despite the remaining Rak’ahs being performed after its time had elapsed, the prayer would be considered valid and not considered delayed after its time, in view of the fact that the prayer was inaugurated within its prescribed time. 2. In the Friday prayer, if a person catches only one Rak’ah, the person need only make up the prayer. But if a person catches less than one Rak’ah, he has to pray the noon prayer’s (Zuhr) four Rak’ahs, according to this Hadīth.
