for it, he adds another to it, and it suffices him. This is the opinion of Ibn Mas'ud, Ibn Umar, Anas, Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab, al-Hasan, Alqamah, al-Aswad, Urwah, al-Zuhri, al-Nakha'i, Malik, al-Thawri, al-Shafi'i, Ishaq, Abu Thawr, and the People of Opinion. Ata', Tawus, Mujahid, and Makhul said: Whoever does not catch the sermon, he prays four [rak'ahs]; because the sermon is a condition for Jumu'ah, so it cannot be Jumu'ah for one in whose case its condition is not found. Our evidence is what al-Zuhri narrated, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who said: "Whoever catches a rak'ah of the Jumu'ah, he has caught the prayer." Recorded by al-Athram, and recorded by Ibn Majah (1), and its wording is: "So he should add another to it." And from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "Whoever catches a rak'ah of the prayer has caught the prayer." Muttafaq alayh (2). And because it is the saying of those we named from the Companions, and there is no dissenter among them in their era.

286 - Issue; He said: (And whoever catches less than that with him, he builds upon it as Dhuhr, if he had entered with the intention of Dhuhr).

As for one who catches less than a rak'ah, he does not count as having caught Jumu'ah, and he prays Dhuhr as four. This is the opinion (1) of all those we mentioned in the issue before this. Al-Hakam, Hammad, and Abu Hanifah said: He is considered to have caught Jumu'ah regardless of the amount (2) he catches of the prayer with the Imam; because whoever is required to build upon the prayer of the Imam if he catches a rak'ah, he is also required to do so if he catches less.
