Unreviewed translation. All hadiths in this collection are available in five languages. Titles and introductions may remain in Arabic.

Nasr ibn Ali, Said ibn Abd al-Rahman, and more than one other narrator told us, all saying: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah told us, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, from Abu Hurayrah, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “Whoever catches one unit of the prayer has caught the prayer.” Abu Isa said: This hadith is hasan sahih. Most scholars among the Companions and others acted upon it. They said: Whoever catches one unit of Friday prayer should add another unit; whoever catches them only while they are sitting should pray four units. This is the view of Sufyan al-Thawri, Ibn al-Mubarak, al-Shafii, Ahmad, and Ishaq.
