The questioner : What is the ruling on a man who comes to the mosque while the imam is bowing and says: [Al-Baqarah 2:153]?
The Shaykh : Yes. He does not say this. Rather, when he enters, he enters with calmness and solemnity until he stands in the row. Whatever part of the prayer he catches up with, he has caught up with it, and whatever he missed, he makes up afterwards.
As for his saying, "Be patient,[Al-Baqarah 2:153]," reciting it in this place is not prescribed, because the Companions did not do this. And Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the mosque while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was bowing, and he did not say, "Be patient, for indeed, Allah is with the patient." Furthermore, this phrase causes confusion among the worshippers, and causing confusion among the worshippers, if it harms them, is forbidden. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah preserve you. This questioner asks, O honorable Shaykh, is this a hadith?
Indeed, Allah is with the patient.
