وَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ اَلنَّضْرِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ:« فِي اَلرَّجُلِ إِذَا أَدْرَكَ اَلْإِمَامَ وَ هُوَ رَاكِعٌ فَكَبَّرَ اَلرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ مُقِيمٌ صُلْبَهُ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ اَلْإِمَامُ رَأْسَهُ فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ اَلرَّكْعَةَ»
And as for what was narrated by al-Husayn ibn Said from al-Nadr, from Hisham ibn Salim, from Sulayman ibn Khalid, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said regarding a man who catches the imam (of prayer) while he is in rukuh, and the man says the takbir while standing upright, then bows before the imam (of prayer) raises his head indeed, he has caught the rak’ah.”
