سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اَللَّهِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ شُرَيْحٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« إِذَا جَاءَ اَلرَّجُلُ مُبَادِراً وَ اَلْإِمَامُ رَاكِعٌ أَجْزَأَتْهُ تَكْبِيرَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لِدُخُولِهِ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ وَ اَلرُّكُوعِ»
Sa’ad ibn Abdillah narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from al-Husayn ibn Said, from Ubaydullah ibn Muawiyah ibn Shurayh, from his father, who said:
I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, say: “If a man comes quickly and the imam (of prayer) is in rukuh, then one takbir suffices for him both to enter the prayer and to join in the ruku.”
