It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer has, as it were, caught the (whole) prayer."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer, let him add another rak'ah to it." Usamah (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I heard from those present in the gathering, about al-Qasim bin Muhammad and Salim, that they both used to say the same.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the Friday prayer, let him add another (rak'ah) to it." All three of these chains are sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim)! But they did not record it with this wording; they only agreed on the narration of al-Zuhri from Abu Salamah from Abu Hurayrah which says: "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the prayer" and "Whoever catches one rak'ah of the Asr prayer", while in Imam Muslim's narration there is this addition: "then he has caught the whole prayer."
