Those who permitted making it up before the imam turns away

Sayyiduna Abdullah (bin Mas'ud) (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "When the imam has given the salam, get up and do whatever you wish. Do not wait for him to stand up or to move from his place."

Nafi' said that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) would complete the rest of his prayer and would not wait for the imam to rise. Al-Qasim, Salim and Nafi' also used to do the same.

Abu Harun said: Once I prayed in Madinah and missed part of the prayer with the congregation. When the imam gave the salam, I stood up to complete the remainder of the prayer. Then a man standing beside me pulled me hard and said: "You should not stand up until the imam has turned around." I mentioned this to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (al-Khudri) (may Allah be pleased with him), and it seemed that he did not dislike what I had done, or he said words to that effect.

Urwah, advising his son Hisham, said: "O my son! When I have given the salam, I sit and recite glorifications (tasbih) and takbir. Whoever has part of his prayer remaining should stand up and complete it."

Ata said: "Let him wait a little for the imam; if he remains seated, let him stand up and leave him."
