Is there a hadith that a person praying alone, if he does not find a place in the row, prays by himself?

The questioner : Can it be inferred from the hadith that it is permissible for a person praying alone to pray behind the row?
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Can it be derived from the hadith that it is permissible for a person praying alone to pray behind the row?
The Shaykh : Yes, this is also a hadith by which the Shaykh al-Islam (may Allah have mercy on him) argued for the permissibility of praying alone behind the row if one does not find a place. The point of indication is that since a woman does not have a place with the men by law, even though the space is physically wide, it is the same for one who does not find a place, meaning because he has no physical place. This is a subtle argument.
