Tranquility in Prayer and the Imam’s Haste

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
So I said to the Shaykh: If I pray five [prayers] and do not hasten in the prayer, if someone is distracted, do I raise the prayer or do I complete it?

The Shaykh:
To.

The questioner:
If I pray for five days and he never prays in the prayer, what is the ruling? Do I accept the prayer? As for the one who separates from him, or his command, I hope that Allah will guide him?

The Shaykh:
We must know what is meant by tranquility. According to the understanding, tranquility is something distinct from the intended act. Tranquility is the settling of the limbs, and it is represented by saying “Subhan Rabbi al-Azim” (Glory be to my Lord, the Great) once in the bowing, “Subhan Rabbi al-A’la” (Glory be to my Lord, the Most High) once in the prostration, and “Rabbighfir li” (My Lord, forgive me) between the two prostrations. This is the minimum limit. If he performs this tranquility, even if it is little, and he performs the obligatory remembrance, this is sufficient tranquility. This is sufficient tranquility. However, if he does not settle down and cannot say “Subhan Rabbi al-Azim” or “Subhan Rabbi al-A’la” or “Rabbighfir li,” and he does not recite al-Fatihah, if he does not recite al-Fatihah, this invalidates the prayer. He becomes like the one who was deficient, whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered to repeat the prayer, so he repeated it for him.
So the haste that leads to the omission of the obligatory acts invalidates the prayer. The haste that leads to the omission of the pillars and obligatory acts invalidates the prayer. As for the haste that leads to the omission of only the recommended practices and the complements, this does not invalidate the prayer. Yes.

The questioner:
Does he raise the prayer for the sake of separation?

The Shaykh:
If he sees him reciting in the prayer, he separates from him and does not follow him. If he sees him reciting in the prayer, he separates from him.
