The questioner : O Shaykh, if a person enters the mosque and finds a congregation praying Maghrib, and he has not yet prayed Asr, should he join them with the intention of Asr, or should he pray Maghrib and then pray Asr?
The Shaykh : Or does he pray 'Asr and then Maghrib?
He joins them with the intention of 'Asr, because the stronger position is that a difference in intention between the imam and the one praying behind him does not affect the validity. So he joins with the intention of 'Asr, and when the imam concludes the Maghrib prayer, he stands and performs the fourth rak'ah if he joined the imam at the beginning of the prayer. Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you, O Shaykh. Among the types of tasbih known after the prayer.

The questioner : To say Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, and Allahu Akbar ten times. It is reported in the hadith that they number one hundred and fifty in count and one thousand and five hundred in reward and recompense.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : Is this reward limited to the same single day, or is it specific to the five prayers?
The Shaykh : The apparent meaning of the hadith is that if he does it throughout the day, thirty times in five?
The questioner : One hundred and fifty.
The Shaykh : One hundred and fifty, yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good.
The Shaykh : From the right.
