1088 - Al-Musayyab ibn Wadih narrated to us, he said: I asked Abu Ishaq al-Fazari about a man who left out both Tashahhud recitations? He said: "His prayer is valid."

Chapter: Regarding the one who missed part of the prayer with the Imam, and recites the Tashahhud repeatedly.

• I heard Ahmad say - regarding a man who missed part of the prayer with the Imam -; he said: "If he sits with the Imam at the end of his [the Imam's] prayer, he should repeat the Tashahhud and not make supplication (Du'a)."

• Ahmad was asked - another time - about the man who arrives while the Imam is sitting, so he says the Takbir and sits; should he recite the Tashahhud? If the Imam prolongs the sitting, he should repeat the Tashahhud (1). It was said: What if he finishes the Tashahhud and the Imam prolongs it, should he remember Allah? He said: "It is more beloved to me that he recites the Tashahhud, and when he stands up, he says the Takbir."

• I asked Ishaq, I said: A man missed part of the prayer with the Imam, and when he sat with the Imam at the end of his prayer, the Imam prolonged the Tashahhud, and this [person] had not yet completed his prayer? Abu Ya'qub said: "He should repeat the Tashahhud," meaning: he should not make supplication except at the end of his own prayer.

1089 - Abu Hafs narrated to us, he said: Bishr ibn al-Waddah narrated to us, he said: Mubarak narrated to us, from al-Hasan - regarding the man who is late for part of the prayer and sits with the Imam at the end of the prayer -; he said: "He should repeat the Tashahhud and not make supplication."
