861 - Bishr ibn Hilal narrated to us, saying: 'Abd al-Warith informed us, saying: Ayyub al-Sakhtiyani narrated to us, from Ibn Sirin, who said: I asked 'Ubaydah, saying: 'Did I catch one rak'ah of the Maghrib prayer with the Imam?' 'Ubaydah replied: 'Whatever you catch with the Imam is the beginning of your prayer.'
862 - 'Abd al-Wahhab ibn al-Dahhak narrated to us, saying: Marwan ibn Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'When one of you comes to the prayer, let him walk with his composure (1), let him pray what he catches, and let him complete what he missed.'
863 - Abu Bakr al-Humaydi narrated to us, saying: Sufyan narrated to us, saying: Al-Zuhri narrated to us, from Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'When you come to the prayer, do not come while you are running; come while you are walking, and upon you is tranquility. Whatever you catch, pray it, and whatever you miss, make it up.'
(1) The copyist omitted its letters, and it may possibly be: "hīnatihi" (his composure), as it appears in several sources. The narration of Abu Dawud supports what I have established, in which it states: "let him walk as he was walking."
