The ruling on leaving the mosque after the iqamah of the 'Isha' prayer without praying

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This questioner says: On one of the nights, I prayed Maghrib in a mosque, and the rain was continuous,

The Shaykh:
the nights.

The questioner:
On one of the nights, I prayed Maghrib in a mosque, and the rain was continuous, and I was on my way to the lessons. When I stood up to leave the mosque, the mu'adhdhin called the iqamah for the 'Isha' prayer, so I left and did not pray with them. Is my action valid?

The Shaykh:
No, if you are present for the iqamah, pray with them; it will be a voluntary prayer for you, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said when he prayed in the mosque of al-Khayr and left, he saw two men sitting behind the rows and said: Why did you not pray with us? They said: O Messenger of Allah, we prayed in our tents. He said:
Do not do that. If you have prayed in your tents, and then you are present while the prayer is being established, pray with them, for it is a voluntary prayer for you.لا تفعلا، إذا صليتما في رحالكما، ثم حضرتم والصلاة تقام، فصلوا معهم، فإنها لكم نافلة،
So whoever is present for the iqamah prays with them, but whoever comes after the iqamah may sit. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh!
