Hadith 1481
۞
1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Safwan from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn al-Hajjaj who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who joins the congregation in the second Rak‘at which is the first for him. What is he to do when the Imam sits down? He (the Imam) said, ‘He displays readiness to stand up (by raising his knees from the ground and placing his palms on the ground), does not allow himself to sit down. When it is the third Rak‘at for the Imam and the second for him, he waits a little while to say Tashahhud (testimonies of belief), then joins the Imam? He (the narrator) has said that he then asked him (the Imam) about one who joins a congregation in the two last Rak‘at of Salah (prayer) and what is one to do about recitation. He (the Imam) said, ‘Recite in them; they are the first two Rak‘at for you and do not make the beginning of your Salah (prayer) its end.’”
1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَجَّاجِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُدْرِكُ الرَّكْعَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ مَعَ الإِمَامِ وَهِيَ لَهُ الأولَى كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ إِذَا جَلَسَ الإِمَامُ قَالَ يَتَجَافَى وَلاَ يَتَمَكَّنُ مِنَ الْقُعُودِ فَإِذَا كَانَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ لِلإِمَامِ وَهِيَ لَهُ الثَّانِيَةُ فَلْيَلْبَثْ قَلِيلاً إِذَا قَامَ الإِمَامُ بِقَدْرِ مَا يَتَشَهَّدُ ثُمَّ يَلْحَقُ بِالإِمَامِ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الَّذِي يُدْرِكُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الأخِيرَتَيْنِ مِنَ الصَّلاَةِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ بِالْقِرَاءَةِ فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ فِيهِمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا لَكَ الأولَيَانِ وَلاَ تَجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ صَلاَتِكَ آخِرَهَا.
