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".

The Latecomer should not take into Account the (unintentional) Addition made by the Imam in Prayer

 


Question:

A man entered the prayer with the congregation and he prayed one Rakah with the Imam, then the Imam made the prostration of forgetfulness and made the Taslim. While he was making up what he had missed of the prayer, he came to know that the Imam had prayed an extra Rakah. So was it permissible for this man to count that extra Rakah (which the Imam prayed), or should he have started the prayer from the beginning without counting that extra Rakah which the Imam prayed?
Answer:

If the Imam prayed an extra Rakah due to forgetfulness it is uon the latecomer not to count it. This is because it was prayed due to a mistake by the Imam, according to the most authoritative of two opinions held by the scholars. So he should perform the whole prayer and make the prostration of forgetfulness after completing what he had missed, if he did not do so with the Imam; but if he prostrated with the Imam, that is enough for him. And Allaah is the Granter of success.
