Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: A latecomer caught up with the imam in the second rak'ah of the 'Isha' prayer, so the follower, out of ignorance, started in the first rak'ah until he completed it, then he caught up with the imam?
The Shaykh: Meaning he prayed the first rak'ah alone?
The questioner: In a quick manner... of course.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Until he caught up with the imam.
The Shaykh: What was the benefit of his prayer?
The questioner: It is not clear to me...
The Shaykh: You are saying a latecomer.
The questioner: Ah, a latecomer, yes.
The Shaykh: I am asking you what is the benefit, what is a latecomer.
The questioner: The imam was in the second rak'ah.
The Shaykh: How did he know he was in the second rak'ah?
The questioner: Meaning this is the truth...
The Shaykh: How?
The questioner: My brother and I were praying together.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner: And he was saying the ameen, and my mother was sitting.
The Shaykh: All right.
The questioner: And we finished the first rak'ah, she stood up and caught up with us, so she finished the first rak'ah, then she continued.
The Shaykh: The prayer is valid, but do not return to it again.
The questioner: Yes, there is a hadith you mentioned in Sahih or Da'if.
The Shaykh: No, this contradicts your last question.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: A second time.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
