Sunan Abu Dawud #800

Prayer (Kitab Al-Salat)
Hasan Maqtu'

The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.

حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ فَظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَ النَّاسُ الرَّكْعَةَ الأُولَى ‏.‏
We thought that by this (prolonging the first rak’ah). He (the prophet) meant that the people might join the first rak’ah.
Narrated by Abu Qatadah said:

Context

Abu Qatadah narrates that the companions thought the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) prolonged the first rak’ah to allow others to join in. This reflects the communal aspect of prayer and the Prophet's (ﷺ) consideration for others in worship. The takeaway is the importance of inclusivity in communal prayers.

Modern Application

In daily salah, especially in congregational settings, Muslims can be mindful of the timing of their prayers to accommodate others. This fosters a sense of community and shared worship.

Topics

This hadith is tagged with Prayer because it discusses the Prophet Muhammad's (ﷺ) actions that aimed to facilitate communal participation in salah.
