وَ عَنْهُ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« إِذَا أَدْرَكْتَ اَلتَّكْبِيرَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ اَلْإِمَامُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكْتَ اَلصَّلاَةَ»
And from him, from al-Nadr, from Asim, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said:
Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام said: “If you catch the takbir before the imam (of prayer) bows into rukuh, then you have caught the prayer.”
