One Performing Salah (Prayer) Partially behind an Imam Who then Asks Him to Lead because of Losing his Wudu’

12ـ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ صَلَّى مَعَ قَوْمٍ وَهُوَ يَرَى أَنَّهَا الأولَى وَكَانَتِ الْعَصْرَ قَالَ فَلْيَجْعَلْهَا الأولَى وَلْيُصَلِّ الْعَصْرَ. وَفِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ فَإِنْ عَلِمَ أَنَّهُمْ فِي صَلاَةِ الْعَصْرِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ صَلَّى الأولَى فَلاَ يَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ.
12. A group of our people has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from al-Husayn ibn ‘Uthman from Sama‘ah from abu Basir from who has said the following: “I once asked him (the Imam) عليه السلام, about a man who performs Salah (prayer) with a people and he thinks it is the first (al-Dhuhr) but it is al-‘Asr. He (the Imam) said, ‘He considers it the first and perform al-‘Asr.’” In another Hadith it is said, ‘If he knows that it is al-‘Asr and has not performed the one before, he is not to join them.”’
