وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ اَلْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُخْتَارِ وَ دَاوُدَ بْنِ اَلْحُصَيْنِ قَالَ: سَأَلَ عَنْ رَجُلٍ فَاتَتْهُ رَكْعَةٌ مِنَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ فَأَدْرَكَ اَلثِّنْتَيْنِ فَهِيَ اَلْأُولَى لَهُ وَ اَلثَّانِيَةُ لِلْقَوْمِ يَتَشَهَّدُ فِيهَا قَالَ« نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ وَ اَلثَّانِيَةَ أَيْضاً قَالَ« نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ كُلَّهُنَّ قَالَ« نَعَمْ وَ إِنَّمَا هِيَ بَرَكَةٌ»
And from him, from Ayyub, from al-Abbas ibn Amir, from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar and Dawud ibn al-Husayn, who said: Imam عليه السلام asked about a man who missed one rak’ah of Maghrib prayer with the imam (of prayer), and he caught the other two; the first of those two is his first rak‘ah, and the second is the second rak‘ah for the group in which they perform the tashahhud. Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.” I asked: “And the second one as well?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.” I asked: “All of them?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes, and it is only a blessing.”
