حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ إِذَا أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَلاَ تَأْتُوهَا وَأَنْتُمْ تَسْعَوْنَ وَلَكِنِ ائْتُوهَا وَأَنْتُمْ تَمْشُونَ وَعَلَيْكُمُ السَّكِينَةُ فَمَا أَدْرَكْتُمْ فَصَلُّوا وَمَا فَاتَكُمْ فَأَتِمُّوا ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ وَأُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَجَابِرٍ وَأَنَسٍ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى اخْتَلَفَ أَهْلُ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْمَشْىِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ رَأَى الإِسْرَاعَ إِذَا خَافَ فَوْتَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الأُولَى حَتَّى ذُكِرَ عَنْ بَعْضِهِمْ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُهَرْوِلُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ ‏.‏ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ كَرِهَ الإِسْرَاعَ وَاخْتَارَ أَنْ يَمْشِيَ عَلَى تُؤَدَةٍ وَوَقَارٍ وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ وَقَالاَ الْعَمَلُ عَلَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ إِنْ خَافَ فَوْتَ التَّكْبِيرَةِ الأُولَى فَلاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُسْرِعَ فِي الْمَشْىِ ‏.‏

Abu Hurayrah reported that the Messenger of Allah said: "When the prayer has been called, do not come to it running; come walking, with calmness. Pray whatever part you catch, and complete whatever you missed." Reports on this topic are also narrated from Abu Qatadah, Ubayy ibn Kab, Abu Said, Zayd ibn Thabit, Jabir, and Anas. Abu Isa said: Scholars differed about walking to the mosque. Some thought one should hurry if one feared missing the first takbir; it is even reported that some would jog to the prayer. Others disliked hurrying and preferred walking with composure and dignity. This was the view of Ahmad and Ishaq, who said that practice follows the hadith of Abu Hurayrah. Ishaq said that if someone fears missing the first takbir, there is no harm in walking quickly.
