فَأَمَّا مَا رَوَاهُ اَلْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ وَهْبٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يُدْرِكُ آخِرَ صَلاَةِ اَلْإِمَامِ وَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ صَلاَةِ اَلرَّجُلِ فَلاَ يُمْهِلُهُ حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ فَيَقْضِي اَلْقِرَاءَةَ فِي آخِرِ صَلاَتِهِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ»
As for what was narrated by al-Husayn ibn Said from Hammad ibn Isa from Muawiyah ibn Wahb, he said: I asked Aba Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, about a man who catches the end of the prayer of the imam (of prayer), while it is the beginning of the man's own prayer, and the imam (of prayer) does not give him enough time to recite (the opening, al-Fatiha), so he completes the recitation at the end of his prayer. Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes.”
