If one catches the posture of bowing with the imam but does not catch a single tasbih with him; is the rak'ah counted for him?

The questioner : Even if he did not catch the tasbih, he caught the posture of bowing but did not catch the tasbih?

The Shaykh : Of course, this is a separate issue that has no relation to whether he bowed outside the row or inside the row; it is another matter. Catching the bowing is achieved simply by participating with the imam in the bowing. As for catching the tasbih, and not catching the tasbih in the bowing, it is not a pillar; the pillar is the bowing itself, while the tasbih is an obligatory part of the prayer. So if he is unable to catch even a single tasbih, his prayer is valid, but he has missed this obligation.
