اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَدْخُلُ اَلْمَسْجِدَ فَيَخَافُ أَنْ تَفُوتَهُ اَلرَّكْعَةُ فَقَالَ« يَرْكَعُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ اَلْقَوْمَ وَ يَمْشِي وَ هُوَ رَاكِعٌ حَتَّى يَبْلُغَهُمْ»
Al-Husayn ibn Said narrated from Hammad ibn Isa, from Hariz ibn Abdillah, from Muhammad ibn Muslim, from one of the two (Imams عليه السلام), peace be upon them:
Imam عليه السلام was asked about a man who enters the mosque and fears that he will miss the rak’ah. Imam عليه السلام said: “He should bow before reaching the group and walk while in the state of rukuh until he joins them.”
