who has entered into ihram, then was crowded out from bowing and prostrating until his Imam performed the salam, he said: He begins Dhuhr as four [rak'ahs]. It is possible that he meant that he restarts the prayer, because Dhuhr cannot be performed with the intention of Jumu'ah from the outset, and thus it is the same in its continuation, like Dhuhr with 'Asr. Abu Ishaq ibn Shaqla said: He intends Jumu'ah so as not to contradict the intention of his Imam, then he builds Dhuhr upon it. This is the apparent view of Qatada, Ayyub, Yunus, and Al-Shafi'i, because they said regarding the one who entered into ihram with the Imam for Jumu'ah, then was crowded out from prostrating until the Imam performed the salam: He completes it as four. Thus, they permitted him to complete it as Dhuhr, despite the fact that he had only entered into ihram for Jumu'ah. Al-Shafi'i said: Regarding one who caught one rak'ah, then when the Imam performed the salam, he realized that he owed one prostration of it, he said: He performs one prostration, and brings three rak'ahs; because it is permissible to follow one who is praying Jumu'ah, it is permissible to build his prayer upon its intention, like the prayer of a resident behind a traveler, and just as he intends that he is a follower, and completes it after his Imam's salam individually, and because it is valid to intend Dhuhr behind someone who is praying Jumu'ah at its beginning, so it is in its middle.

Section: If the Imam prays Jumu'ah before the meridian, and the follower catches with him less than a rak'ah, it is not permissible for him to enter with him; because in his case it is Dhuhr, and it is not permissible before the meridian, like days other than Friday. If he enters with him, it is a supererogatory prayer in his case, and it does not suffice him for Dhuhr. If he catches one rak'ah of it, then is crowded out from its prostration, and we say it becomes Dhuhr, then it transforms into a supererogatory prayer, so that it would not be Dhuhr before its time.

Section: If he prays one rak'ah with the Imam, then is crowded out in the second, and is pushed out of the row,
