Al-Kafi 5498

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Ali Bin Muhammad Al Qasany, from Al Qasim Bin Muhammad, from Suleyman Bin Dawood Al Minqary, from Hafs Bin Giyas who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah^asws saying regarding a man who achieved the Friday (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>) and the people had thronged. So he exclaimed <span class="iTxt">Takbīr</span> with the prayer leader and performed Rukū, and he was not able upon the <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>, and the prayer leader stood and the people were in the second <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, and this one arose with them. So the prayer leader performed Rukū and this one was not able upon the Rukū during the second <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> due to the overcrowding, and he was able upon the Sajdah. How should he deal with it?’ So Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘As for the first <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, so it is complete up to the Rukū. So when he did not perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span> to it until he entered into the second (<span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>), that did not happen for him. So when he performed Sajdah during the second (<span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>), if he had intended this to be a Sajdah which was in the first <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, so the first (<span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>) is completed for him. And when the prayer leader offers <span class="iTxt">Salam</span>, he should stand and pray one <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, then he should perform Sajdah in it, then he should recite <span class="iTxt">Tashahhud</span>, and he should say <span class="iTxt">Salam</span> (greet). And if it was so that he did not intend that <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span> to be the <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span> for the first <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>, the first <span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span> would not be allowed for him, nor would the second (<span class="iTxt">Rak’at</span>)’.
