902. It was narrated that Anas said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was leading us in prayer when a man came and entered the Masjid, and he was out of breath. He said: 'Allāhu Akbar, al-ḥamdulillāhi ḥamdan kathīran tayiban mubārakan fīh. (Allāh is Most Great, praise be to Allāh, much good and blessed praise.)' When the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ had finished his prayer he said: 'Which of you is the one who spoke these words?' The people kept quiet. He said: 'He did not say anything bad.' The man said: 'I did, O Messenger of Allāh. I came and I was out of breath, and I said it.' The Prophet
ﷺ said: 'I saw twelve angels rushing to see which of them would take it up.'" (Sahîh)

Commentary
He was short of breath: this demonstrates that this Companion (of the Prophet ﷺ) had arrived toward the prayer pretty hastily. Hence, walking at a fast pace, short of running, is permitted; although, composure and dignity should remain.
