The questioner:
The questioner: If a person joins the imam in prayer, and he has already performed the previous prayer, and he sees the imam prostrating with his hands on the ground, is it permissible for him to follow the imam in this manner? Or should he perform what he missed of his own prayer?

He follows the imam, yes, and prostrates with him the prostration for forgetfulness, even if he is a latecomer, and even if he did not witness the forgetfulness. It is obligatory for him to follow the imam, based on the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): This is a general ruling. Yes. If he stands up, he continues and prostrates when he intends to conclude the prayer.
The questioner:
I found for you, I ask you for success in this, I found for you every night for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I swore the prayer, every increase, he said (peace and blessings be upon him): Do not forget and do not count, he established or increased.
The Shaykh:
Yes, and what is in it?
The questioner:
