When the Prophet (peace be upon him) completed the prayer, there were two people behind the congregation who had not performed the prayer. They were brought forward and were trembling. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked: Why did you not pray with us? They replied: We had already performed the prayer at our residence. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Do not do this. When you have performed the prayer at your residence and then come to a mosque where the congregational prayer is being held, then perform the prayer with those people as well; it will be counted as a voluntary prayer for you.
