(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَالِثٍ بِنَحْوِهِ أَيْضًا وَفِيهِ قَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ) فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى الْقَوْمِ وَقَدْ صَلَّى بِهِمْ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ رَكْعَةً، فَلَمَّا أَحَسَّ بِالنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَهَبَ يَتَأَخَّرُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يُتِمَّ الصَّلَاةَ وَقَالَ: ((قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ كَذَلِكَ فَافْعَلْ))
(Third chain of narration, similarly the hadith is narrated, according to which Sayyiduna Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) said:) So when we reached the people, Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) had already led them in one rak'ah. When he sensed the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he began to step back, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) signaled to him to complete the prayer, and (later) said: You did well, do like this.
