Sayyiduna Mughira bin Shu’bah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, and Sayyiduna Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) was with him. They saw that the people had already started the Fajr prayer and had appointed Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead them. He had already led them in one rak’ah. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, he also stood in the row behind Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) for the second rak’ah. When Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) finished the prayer with salam, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and completed his prayer. The people became anxious and started saying“Subhan Allah, Subhan Allah.”When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) completed his prayer, he said to the people:“You did right, you did well.”

Sayyiduna Mughira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When we reached the people, they had already established the prayer and Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was leading them in the Fajr prayer and had gone into ruku‘. When he sensed the arrival of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), he began to move back, but the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his blessed hand, so he completed the prayer. Then, when he finished with salam, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and I also stood up, and we performed the rak‘ah that we had missed. Abu Muhammad Imam Darimi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In terms of fatwa, I hold the opinion of the people of Kufa, that the rak‘ah which is missed should be made up, meaning it will be considered as qada, and the rak‘ah performed with the imam will be considered as the second.
