The Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) hadith: (There is no prayer for one who prays alone behind the congregation), so is this person alone in the row or alone in the prayer?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The questioner:The questioner : He says: The Prophet's hadith:
The prayer of a person who prays alone behind the row is not accepted. لا صلاة لمنفرد خلف الجماعة
Bulugh al-Maram 2:327
... so is this person alone in the row or alone in the prayer?

The Shaykh: It is the hadith:
There is no prayer for one who prays alone in the row لا صلاة لمن صلى في الصف وحده
, and this is explicit.

The questioner: IntendedThe questioner : ... meaning intendedThe questioner: Does this hadith mean ... .

The Shaykh: Which hadith? What is its wording?

The questioner :
The prayer of a person who prays alone behind the row is not accepted. لا صلاة لمنفرد خلف الصف
Bulugh al-Maram 2:327
.

The Shaykh: Okay, the question was not like that, specify the question because every question has an answer, what is the question exactly?

The questioner: The paper that ... yesterday.

The Shaykh: I don't care, what is the text of the paper you read now?

The questioner: So is this person alone in the row?

The Shaykh: That is not the rest of the question, read the beginning of the question, all of it.

The questioner :
The prayer of a person who prays alone behind the row is not accepted. لا صلاة لمنفرد خلف الجماعة
Bulugh al-Maram 2:327
.

The Shaykh: Okay, what does
Behind the congregation خلف الجماعة
mean? There is no hadith "behind the congregation," so he raises the question based on this wording he recalled, so if he wants specifically this wording, the answer is we do not know it, if he wants the known wording that you mentioned yesterday; then its answer is known, so now specify the question from yourself? What is the question?

The questioner: The question is that the person who prays alone wants to know the meaning of "alone"; is it the person - for example - who is sitting praying when the prayer is called, is this what is intended by the hadith? Or the person who prays behind the row alone while he is attached to the congregation?

The Shaykh: Of course, the intended meaning is the one who participates with the congregation in their prayer in their intention, but he separates from them in their rows, so he prays with the standing congregation but prays in the row alone, this is what is intended.
And this question is strange, no one would assume a meaning other than this.
