327. Abū Hurairah narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "When the Iqāmah is called for Ṣalāt do not come to it rushing, rather come to it walking, and while you have tranquility. What you catch of it then pray it, and what you missed of it, then complete it." (Saḥīḥ)
There are narrations on this topic from Abū Qatādah, Ubayy bin Ka'b, Abū Sa'eed, Zaid bin Thābit, Jābir, and Anas.
Abū 'Eisā said: The people of knowledge differ over walking to the Masjid. Some of them held the view that one could hurry when he feared missing the first Takbīr, so much so that it has been related from some of them that he would walk in a quick pace to the Ṣalāt. Some of them disliked rushing, and they prefer that one walks slowly and in a dignified manner. This is the saying of Ahmad and Ishāq. They said that one is to act according to the Hadīth of Abū Hurairah. Ishāq said: "If he fears he will miss the first Takbīr then there is no harm if he walks quickly."

Commentary
It is proven from this Hadīth that when walking for prayer, gentleness, politeness, respect, seriousness and tranquillity should be observed; and a style of walking and speed contrary to respect and tranquillity should not be observed. But there is no harm to walk and drive a little faster, that is not contrary to respect and seriousness, to join the prayer.
