Hadith 577
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ ، عَنْ نُوحِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : " جِئْتُ وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَجَلَسْتُ وَلَمْ أَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ ، قَالَ : فَانْصَرَفَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَرَأَى يَزِيدَ جَالِسًا ، فَقَالَ : أَلَمْ تُسْلِمْ يَا يَزِيدُ ؟ قَالَ : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَدْ أَسْلَمْتُ ، قَالَ : فَمَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ مَعَ النَّاسِ فِي صَلَاتِهِمْ ؟ قَالَ : إِنِّي كُنْتُ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فِي مَنْزِلِي ، وَأَنَا أَحْسَبُ أَنْ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُمْ ، فَقَالَ : إِذَا جِئْتَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَوَجَدْتَ النَّاسَ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ ، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ تَكُنْ لَكَ نَافِلَةً وَهَذِهِ مَكْتُوبَةٌ " .
Narrated Yazid ibn Amir: I came while the Prophet ﷺ was saying the prayer. I sat down and did not pray along with them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards us and saw that Yazid was sitting there. He said: Did you not embrace Islam, Yazid? He replied: Why not, Messenger of Allah; I have embraced Islam. He said: What prevented you from saying prayer along with the people? He replied: I have already prayed in my house, and I thought that you had prayed (in congregation). He said: When you come to pray (in the mosque) and find the people praying, then you should pray along with them, though you have already prayed. This will be a supererogatory prayer for you and that will be counted as obligatory.
