Is it obligatory for the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) to hurry if the imam begins the prayer?

The questioner : Yes. Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The tranquility settles upon you. Does it not follow from this hadith that the imam does not wait if he hears someone who is late for the prayer? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say, "I will wait," or say, "It is recommended for the imam to wait."

The Shaykh : Does this address the one who addresses the imam, and not the ma'mum?

The questioner : My thought is that he is late, lagging behind.

The Shaykh : Among them is the ma'mum. Well, we say the ma'mum should not hurry. And because of that, if you are not hurrying, the imam waits for you.

The questioner : Because he was a student in the hadith, then he caught up with the prayer. Correct.

The Shaykh : He did not catch up with a rak'ah.

The questioner : By Allah, I mean.

The Shaykh : This address is for the one coming, the ma'mum, but the statement we mentioned is for the imam himself. So these are two addresses.
