Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَرْجِسَ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَالنَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي الصُّبْحَ فَصَلَّى الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ ‏"‏ يَا فُلاَنُ أَيَّتُهُمَا صَلاَتُكَ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ وَحْدَكَ أَوِ الَّتِي صَلَّيْتَ مَعَنَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Sulayman ibn Harb narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from Asim, from Abd Allah ibn Sarjis, who said: A man came while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying the dawn prayer. He prayed the two rak'ahs, then joined the prayer with the Prophet. When the Prophet finished, he said, ‘So-and-so, which was your prayer: the one you prayed alone or the one you prayed with us?’
