عَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي الدِّيلِ قَالَ : خَرَجْتُ بِأَبَاعِرَ لِي لِأُصْدِرَهَا إِلَى الرَّاعِي فَمَرَرْتُ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِالنَّاسِ الظُّهْرَ فَمَضَيْتُ فَلَمْ أُصَلِّ مَعَهُ، فَلَمَّا أَصْدَرْتُ أَبَاعِرِي وَرَجَعْتُ ذُكِرَ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فَقَالَ : " يَا فُلَانُ مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعَنَا حِينَ مَرَرْتَ بِنَا ؟ " فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي كُنْتُ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فِي بَيْتِي قَالَ : "وَإِنْ" .

A man from Banu al-Dil states: I went out with my camels to hand them over to the herdsman. I passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was leading the people in the Zuhr prayer. I went on and did not pray behind him. When I came back with my camels, this was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: "O so-and-so! Why did you not pray with us when you passed by us?" I said: "O Messenger of Allah! I had already prayed in my house." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Even if (you had already prayed in your house, you should still have prayed with us)."
Imam Ahmad recorded this narration, and its narrators have been declared trustworthy (muwaththaqun).

وَعَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي الْخَرِيفِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ قَالَ : أَتَيْتُ أَنَا وَأَخِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ وَقَدْ صَلَّيْنَا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَلَمْ نُصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ فَقَالَ : " مَا مَنَعَكُمَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَا مَعَنَا ؟ " قُلْنَا : قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِذَا صَلَّى الرَّجُلُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ فِي الْبَيْتِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ جَمَاعَةً فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ تَكُونُ صَلَاتُهُ فِي بَيْتِهِ نَافِلَةً" .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي الْخَرِيفِ وَأَبُوهُ لَا أَدْرِي مَنْ هُمَا .
Ibn Abi al-Kharif reports, through his father, this statement of his grandfather: My brother and I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was in Masjid al-Khayf. We had already offered the obligatory prayer at home, so we did not pray with the people. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Why did the two of you not pray with us?" We said: "We had already offered the obligatory prayer at home." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man has offered the obligatory prayer at home and then finds a congregation, he should pray with them as well; the prayer he offered at home will be counted as voluntary (nafl)."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. As for Ibn Abi al-Kharif and his father, I do not know who they are.

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ : أَبْصَرَ النَّبِيُّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلَيْنِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ فِي أُخْرَيَاتِ النَّاسِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمَا فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تُرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا فَقَالَ : " مَا مَنَعَكُمَا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ مَعَنَا ؟ " قَالَا : صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا قَالَ : " أَفَلَا صَلَّيْتُمْ مَعَنَا ، فَتَكُونُ تَطَوُّعًا وَتَكُونُ الْأُولَى هِيَ الْفَرِيضَةُ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ وَقَالَ : هَكَذَا رَوَاهُ الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، وَخَالَفَ النَّاسُ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ ، وَرَوَاهُ شُعْبَةُ وَأَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَهُشَيْمٌ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ ذِي حِمَايَةَ وَالثَّوْرِيُّ وَهِشَامُ بْنُ حَسَّانَ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ السُّوَائِيِّ .
قُلْتُ : وَرِجَالُ إِسْنَادِ الْحَدِيثِ ثِقَاتٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ الْحَجَّاجَ مُدَلِّسٌ وَقَدْ عَنْعَنَهُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw two men in Masjid al-Khayf, sitting at the back of the people. On the order of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) they were brought, and their limbs were trembling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Why did the two of you not pray with us?" They said: "We had already prayed at our lodgings." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Could you not have prayed with us? It would have been voluntary, and the first one would have remained the obligatory one."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and he stated that al-Hajjaj bin Artah narrated it in this way from Ya'la bin Ata', from his father, from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him), and that people differed from him in its chain: Shu'bah, Abu Awanah, Hushaym, Ibrahim bin Dhi Himayah, al-Thawri and Hisham bin Hassan narrated it from Ya'la bin Ata', from Ata', from Jabir bin Yazid bin al-Aswad al-Suwa'i. I say: The narrators of the chain of this hadith are thiqat (trustworthy), except that the narrator al-Hajjaj is a mudallis (one who conceals defects in the chain), and he has narrated it with 'an'anah (using "from").

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ قَالَ : رَأَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - رَجُلًا جَالِسًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ : " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالْقَوْمُ يُصَلُّونَ فَلْيُصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ تَكُونُ لَهُ نَافِلَةً " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ ، وَفِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا ، فَإِنْ كَانَ هُوَ الْعِجْلِيُّ الْوَاسِطِيُّ فَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُهُ فَلَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Sarjis (may Allah be pleased with him) states: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man sitting in the mosque while the people were praying. When he had completed the prayer, he said: "When one of you has prayed in his house and then comes to the mosque while the people are praying, he should pray with them; it will be voluntary (nafl) for him."
Imam al-Tabarani recorded this narration in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains a narrator, Ibrahim bin Zakariyya. If he is al-Ijli al-Wasiti, then he is da'if (weak), and if he is someone else, then I do not know him.
