Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Many Muslims are eager not to miss any part of the prayer. So, when they head toward the mosque and hear the imam praying, they start running and hurrying to the mosque to catch the prayer. What is the ruling on this action, or this phenomenon?
Answer:
Hurrying and running is disliked and should not be done; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:, and the Sunnah is that one comes to it walking humbly, not in a hurry, proceeding calmly, walking the usual pace with humility and tranquility until he reaches the row. This is the Sunnah.

إذا أتيتم الصلاة فامشوا وعليكم السكينة والوقار، فما أدركتم فصلوا وما فاتكم فأتموا
