the Takbeer’’. [202]
And from him-asws having said: ‘It is befitting for the prayer leader when he performs Salat that he sits in his place until the ones he had preceded with the Salat fulfil what was missed out by him; and this is based upon what we-asws mentioned from what he has been instructed with from the supplication and the diverting after the Salat and before the standing from his place. He should fulfil during that, one whom something was missed out by him from it, while during that the prayer leader will supplicate, and concentrate, and draw closer with what he has been Commanded from that’’. [203]
Explanation (Ahadeeth only) – It is reported by Ibn Babuwayh in the correct (Hadeeth), from Abdullah Bin Sinan (in Al-Faqeeh), from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘There is none from a servant praying in the time and he is free, then he comes to them and prays with them while he is upon the Wud’u, except Allah-azwj will Write twenty-five ranks being for him’’. And in the correct (Hadeeth) from Umar Bin Yazeed (in Al-Faqeeh), from him-asws – similar to it, and there is an increase in its end: ‘Therefore be desirous regarding that’’. And in a correct (Hadeeth) by Zurara, from Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him‑asws, ‘Can the woman lead the women? ’ He-asws said: ‘No, except upon the deceased when there does not happen to be anyone foremost than her. She would stand in their midst with them in the Salat. She would exclaim Takbeer and they would be exclaiming Takbeer’’.

And it is reported by the Sheykh in the correct (Hadeeth in Al-Tahzeeb), from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the man who comes to the Masjid while they are in the Salat, and the prayer leader has preceded him by a Cycle or more, so the prayer leader suspends (the Salat), grabs his hand, and he happens to be nearest of the group to him, and forwards him. He-asws said: ‘He should complete the Salat with the group, then he should be seated until when they are free from the Tashahhud, he should gesture to them by his hand, from the right and the left, so the one whom he had gestured to by his hand is the Salaam, and their Salat is fulfilled, and he would complete whatever he had missed out or remains upon him’’.
