Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah narrates from his father: Once we were offering prayer behind the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). During the prayer, he heard the sound of some people hurrying. When he completed the prayer, he called them and asked: What happened to you? They replied: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! We were hurrying to join the prayer. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: Do not be hasty. When you come to the prayer, come calmly. Whatever part of the prayer you catch, perform it, and whatever you have missed, complete it (afterwards).

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When the iqamah is called for prayer, do not come running towards it, rather come walking with calmness. Whatever part of the prayer you catch, perform it, and whatever you have missed, complete it (afterwards). For when a person goes towards the prayer, he is considered to be in the state of prayer." (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Allah Almighty says: "When the call to prayer is made on the day of Jumu'ah, hasten towards the remembrance of Allah." Whereas the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has said: Do not come running towards it. So the hastening which Allah has commanded refers to a person going towards the prayer in a state of calmness, and the hastening which the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden refers to walking quickly. The reason for this is that for every step a person takes, good deeds are recorded for him. As I have mentioned earlier, that is, in the explanation of such types of hadith, I have mentioned this point: that when the Arabs use a single word for two different things in their language, then one of them can be commanded and the other can be forbidden. Ishaq Abu Abdullah, who is the servant of Zahida, belongs to the Tabi'in; this has been stated by Imam Abu Hatim.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Ujrah (may Allah be pleased with him): "When you perform ablution and enter the mosque, do not intertwine your fingers with each other."
