Chapter on the Virtue of Mosques and Prayer Within Them, and the Virtue of Congregational Prayer and Its Rulings

عَنْهُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَعِيدٍ اَلْأَعْرَجِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَأْتِي اَلصَّلاَةَ فَلاَ يَجِدُ فِي اَلصَّفِّ مَقَاماً أَ يَقُومُ وَحْدَهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ قَالَ« نَعَمْ لاَ بَأْسَ يَقُومُ بِحِذَاءِ اَلْإِمَامِ»
From him, from Uthman ibn Isa from Saeed al-A‘raj who said: I asked Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, about a man who comes to the prayer and does not find a place in the row. Should he stand alone until he finishes his prayer? Imam عليه السلام said: “Yes, there is no problem, he may stand beside the imam (of prayer).”
