Al-Kafi 5284

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Usman Bin Isa, from Sama’at who said, ‘I asked him^asws about a man who has prayed <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, so the Imam comes out and the man has already prayed one <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> from the Obligatory (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>). So he^asws said: ‘If he was a just Imam, so let him pray another (<span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>) and finish, and he should make these two to be voluntary (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>), and let him enter with the Imam in his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, just as he is. And if he does not happen to be a just Imam, so let him build upon his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> just as he is and he should pray another <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> with him, seated, of a measurement of what he would be saying, ‘I testify that there is no god except for Allah^azwj, Alone, there being no associates for Him^azwj, and I testify that Muhammad^saww is His^azwj servant and His^azwj Rasool^saww’; then let him complete his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> with him upon whatever he is able to, for the dissimulation is vast, and there is nothing from the dissimulation except that its performer is Recompensed upon it, Allah^azwj Willing’.
