(Book 8, Hadith 10) #35352
Praying with the Imam

SUMMARY: Abdullah ibn Umar advises a man to pray with the imam, but ultimately it is up to Allah which prayer He will accept.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that a man asked Abdullah ibn Umar, "Sometimes I pray in my house, and then catch the prayer with the imam. Should I pray with him?" Abdullah ibn Umar said to him, "Yes," and the man said, "Which of them do I make my prayer?" Abdullah ibn Umar said, "Is that up to you? It is up to Allah. He will decide on whichever of them He wishes".
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً، سَأَلَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي ثُمَّ أُدْرِكُ الصَّلاَةَ مَعَ الإِمَامِ أَفَأُصَلِّي مَعَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا أَجْعَلُ صَلاَتِي فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عُمَرَ أَوَذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّمَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَجْعَلُ أَيَّتَهُمَا شَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Abdullah ibn Umar is advising a man who sometimes prays in his house and then catches up with the imam's prayer. He asked if he should pray with him and Abdullah ibn Umar said yes. The man then asked which of them he should make his prayer and Abdullah ibn Umar replied that it was up to Allah as He would decide on whichever of them He wishes. This hadith teaches us that we should always strive to pray in congregation as much as possible and leave it up to Allah whether our prayers are accepted or not. We must also remember that no matter how hard we try, ultimately our fate lies in the hands of God alone.
