A man standing in prayer who hears the iqamah

Al-Sha'bi said: If a man is standing in prayer and hears the iqamah, he should break off his prayer.

Ibrahim said: He should add another rak'ah to it and not break it off.

Ibrahim used to say: If something of your prayer remains for you, complete it. Sa'id bin Jubayr said: He should break off his prayer.

Ibrahim said: When someone begins a voluntary prayer and the iqamah is called for prayer, he should complete the voluntary prayer.

Abu Ishaq said: I was standing beside Abdullah bin Ma'qil while he was praying and reciting Surah al-Nur in his prayer. Then the mu'adhdhin called the iqamah. He bowed and prostrated, then sat and recited the tashahhud. Then he stood with the imam and began from where he had reached.

Bayan said: Qays bin Abi Hazim used to lead us in prayer. One day he had prayed only one rak'ah when the mu'adhdhin called the iqamah for prayer. He abandoned his prayer, then went forward and led the prayer.

Maymun said: If you have said the takbir for a voluntary prayer before the iqamah, complete two rak'ahs.

Ata said: When you are in the mosque and the iqamah for prayer is called, do not perform ruku'. However, if you have prayed an odd number of rak'ahs, add one more to it.
