524. Abū Hurairah narrated that
the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever catches a Rak'ah of the Ṣalāt then he has caught the Ṣalāt." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. This is acted upon according to most of the people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ and others. They say that whoever catches a Rak'ah of the Friday prayer, he prays the other one, and whoever catches them while they are sitting, then he prays four.
This is the view of Sufyān Ath-Thawrī, Ibn Al-Mubārak, Ash-Shāfi'i, Ahmad, and Ishāq.

Commentary
This Hadīth proves that if one catches one Rak'ah with the Imām, he has caught the prayer and he will complete his prayer as Friday; the opposite meaning will be if he catches less than one Rak'ah, he missed the congregation and he will not regard his prayer as Friday Prayer.
