مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَخَرَجَ اَلْإِمَامُ وَقَدْ صَلَّى اَلرَّجُلُ رَكْعَةً مِنْ صَلاَةِ اَلْفَرِيضَةِ قَالَ« إِنْ كَانَ إِمَاماً عَدْلاً فَلْيُصَلِّ أُخْرَى وَ يَنْصَرِفُ وَ يَجْعَلُهَا تَطَوُّعاً وَ لْيَدْخُلْ مَعَ اَلْإِمَامِ فِي صَلاَتِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ إِمَامَ عَدْلٍ فَلْيَبْنِ عَلَى صَلاَتِهِ كَمَا هُوَ وَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَةً أُخْرَى مَعَهُ وَ يَجْلِسُ قَدْرَ مَا يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ ثُمَّ لْيُتِمَّ صَلاَتَهُ مَعَهُ عَلَى مَا اِسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنَّ اَلتَّقِيَّةَ وَاسِعَةٌ وَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنَ اَلتَّقِيَّةِ إِلاَّ وَ صَاحِبُهَا مَأْجُورٌ عَلَيْهَا إِنْ شَاءَ اَللَّهُ»
Muhammad ibn Yaqub from Muhammad ibn Yahya from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Uthman ibn Isa from Sama’ah, who said: I asked Imam (a.s) about a man who had begun to pray, and the imam (of prayer) came out while the man had already prayed one rak’ah of the obligatory prayer. Imam (a.s) said: “If the imam (of prayer) is just, then let him complete another rak’ah and end the prayer, and count it as a supererogatory (nafl) prayer, and then enter into prayer with the imam (of prayer). But if the imam (of prayer) is not just, then let him continue his own prayer as it is, and perform another rak’ah with the imam (of prayer), and remain seated for the duration it takes to say: ‘I bear witness that there is no God but Allah (swt), alone with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His (azj) servant and His (azj) messenger’. Then let him complete his prayer with the imam (of prayer) to the best of his ability. Indeed, taqiyyah is expansive, and there is no act of taqiyyah except that the one who performs it is rewarded for it, if Allah (swt) wills.”
