Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

It is permissible for the One praying alone to break off His Prayer in order to pray with the Congregation

Question:

If a person was performing an obligatory prayer alone and while he was doing so, a number of people entered the mosque, made the Takbir and began to pray in congregation. Should he break off his prayer, or make his intention to pray a non-obligatory prayer, so that he might pray with them?
Answer:

It is better to make it a non-obligatory prayer and then pray with those who have started the congregational prayer, in order to attain the reward of the congregation. If he breaks it off, there is no sin in that, because he is breaking it off for some lawful benefit which returns to the same prayer. And through Allaah is attained success.
