أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو أَحْمَدَ الْمِهْرَجَانِيُّ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْمُزَكِّي، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيُّ، ثنا ابْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ أُدْرِكُ الصَّلَاةَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: " نَعَمْ فَصَلِّ ⦗٤٣٠⦘ مَعَهُ " فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ: فَأَيَّتُهُمَا أَجْعَلُ صَلَاتِي، فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: " وَذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ؟ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى يَجْعَلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا شَاءَ ".
Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said that a man asked Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both): I pray in my house, then the prayer is being held in congregation; should I pray with the imam? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Yes, pray with the imam. He said: Which of the two should I make my obligatory prayer? Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Is that up to you? That is from Allah; He makes obligatory whichever He wills.
وَبِإِسْنَادِهِ ثنا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ سَعِيدَ بْنَ الْمُسَيِّبِ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ آتِي الْمَسْجِدَ فَأَجِدُ الْإِمَامَ يُصَلِّي، أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ؟ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: " نَعَمْ " قَالَ الرَّجُلُ: فَأَيَّتُهُمَا أَجْعَلُ صَلَاتِي؟ فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: " وَأَنْتَ تَجْعَلُهَا؟ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللهِ يَجْعَلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا شَاءَ " وَالْقَوْلُ الْأَوَّلُ أَصَحُّ لِحَدِيثِ أَبِي ذَرٍّ وَيَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَافِعٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ إِعَادَةِ الصَّلَاةِ، فَقَالَ: الْمَكْتُوبَةُ الْأُولَى، فَكَأَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ فِي ذَلِكَ مَا لَمْ يَبْلُغْهُ حِينَ لَمْ يَقْطَعْ فِيهَا بِشَيْءٍ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ.
(a) It is narrated from Yahya bin Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) that a man asked Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him): I pray at home, then I come to the mosque and find the imam praying; should I pray with the imam as well? Sa'id bin al-Musayyib (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Yes. He then said: Which of them should I consider obligatory? Sa'id (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Is it you who can make it so? That is in Allah's hands; He makes whichever of them He wills (the obligatory one).
(b) The first view is more correct in light of the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Dharr and Sayyiduna Yazid bin al-Aswad (may Allah be pleased with them both).
(c) Uthman bin Ubaydullah bin Abi Rafi' (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) about repeating the prayer, and he said: The first is counted as the obligatory one.
