حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الأَشْعَثِ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ بِمَدِينَةِ الْطَرَسُوسِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجَرَّاحُ بْنُ مَلِيحٍ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ بْنِ ذِي حِمَايَةٍ ، عَنْ غَيْلانَ بْنِ جَامِعٍ ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ السُّوَائِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : حَجَجْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَجَّةً ، فَصَلَّيْتُ مَعَهُ صَلاةَ الْفَجْرِ بِمِنًى ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلاتِهِ إِذَا رَجُلانِ خَلْفَ النَّاسِ لَمْ يُصَلِّيَا مَعَ النَّاسِ ، فَقَالَ : عَلَيَّ بِالرَّجُلَيْنِ ، فَجِيءَ بِهِمَا تَرْعَدُ فَرَائِصُهُمَا ، فَقَالَ : "أَمَا صَلَّيْتُمَا مَعَنَا ؟ ، فَقَالا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِنَّا كُنَّا صَلَّيْنَا فِي رِحَالِنَا وَظَنَنَّا أَنْ لا نُدْرِكَ الصَّلاةَ قَالَ : فَلا تَفْعَلُوا إِذَا صَلَّيْتُمَا فِي رِحَالِكُمَا ، ثُمَّ أَدْرَكْتُمَا الصَّلاةَ فَصَلِّيَا تَكُونُ لَكُمَا نَافِلَةً ، فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا : اسْتَغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَقَالَ : اللَّهُمَّ ، اغْفِرْ لَهُ ، فَازْدَحَمَ النَّاسُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ كَأَشَبِّ الرِّجَالِ وَأَقْوَاهُمْ ، فَزَاحَمْتُ النَّاسَ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِيَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعْتُهَا عَلَى صَدْرِي ، فَلَمْ أَرَ شَيْئًا كَانَ أَبْرَدَ وَلا أَطْيَبَ مِنْ يَدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ غَيْلانَ ، إِلا ابْنُ ذِي حِمَايَةَ
Sayyiduna Yazid bin Al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I performed Hajj with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and offered the morning prayer in Mina. When the prayer was finished, he saw that two men were sitting at the back; they had not prayed with the congregation. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring them to me." When they were brought, the flesh under their arms was trembling. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did you not pray with us?" They said: O Messenger of Allah! We had already prayed at home because we thought we might miss the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not do this in the future. When you have prayed at home and then find the congregation, then pray with them; it will be counted as a voluntary prayer for you." One of them said: O Messenger of Allah! Pray for forgiveness for us. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for their forgiveness. People gathered around the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) like a flock of sheep. At that time, I was a young and strong man, so I made my way through the crowd and went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), took his hand and placed it on my chest. I have never seen a hand more excellent and cooler than the hand of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

859. Commentary:
➊ The Masjid Khaif is in Mina, and this incident took place during the Farewell Pilgrimage (Hajjat al-Wada‘). There is no possibility of it being abrogated.
➋ "He was trembling." There was a natural awe and majesty in the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Whoever saw him for the first time, or saw him only occasionally, would become overawed. As for this individual, he had not only been summoned but was actually brought in, so in addition to being overawed, it was quite likely for him to be fearful as well.
➌ In this narration, it is explicitly stated regarding the Fajr prayer that if someone who prayed alone finds the congregation, he should pray again. Therefore, to leave aside this explicit narration and instead deduce from a general narration is contrary to fairness.
➍ "It will become a voluntary (nafl) prayer." Which one? There is a difference of opinion regarding this, and for this reason, the scholars have said: This is left to Allah; He makes obligatory (fard) whom He wills and voluntary whom He wills. However, it is apparent that the first prayer, when it was performed, was done with the intention of obligation (fard), so the second prayer should be considered voluntary (nafl). This position is supported by the light of the ahadith. And Allah knows best.

Some people have restricted this to Zuhr and Isha, and they say that it is not permissible to perform supererogatory (nafl) prayers after Fajr and Asr, and if Maghrib is repeated, it will become even (shaf‘), but this is not correct because this ruling is general and includes all prayers.

575. Commentary:
➊ Although the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) was extremely humble, he was also exceedingly awe-inspiring and majestic. And the sole reason for this was the piety (taqwa) of Allah, the Exalted, and His fear (khashyah).
➋ Whoever has performed the prayer alone and then finds a congregation, he should join the imam and perform the prayer again.
➌ No matter which prayer it is, the apparent wording of the hadith indicates permission for this.
➍ It is understood from this that, due to a legal (shar‘i) reason, prayer can be performed after Fajr and ‘Asr.
➎ It is also indicated here that the prayer of a person performed alone is valid, even though performing it in congregation is necessary.
➏ It is also established that the first prayer will be obligatory (fard) and the second will be supererogatory (nafl).

Takhrij:
«أخرجه أبوداود، الصلاة، باب فيمن صلي في منزله ثم أدرك...، حديث:575، والترمذي، الصلاة، حديث:219، والنسائي، الإمامة، حديث:859، وابن حبان (الإحسان):3 /50، حديث:1563.»©
Explanation:
From this hadith, it is understood that if a person has already performed the prayer and then gets the opportunity to join the congregational prayer (jama‘ah), he should join the congregation, regardless of which prayer it is. This is the opinion of Imam Shafi‘i rahimahullah. In contrast, according to Imam Abu Hanifah rahimahullah, one may do so only in the Dhuhr and ‘Isha prayers, not in the others. However, since the evidence for repeating the prayer is this very hadith, then why should one not repeat the other prayers as well? Therefore, the position of Imam Shafi‘i rahimahullah is correct.
