Hadith 1527

It is narrated from Al-Aswad ibn Yazid, a Tabi'i (follower of the companions), that if he missed the congregational prayer in his local mosque, he would go to another mosque. [Narrated by Ibn Abi Shaybah with a Sahih chain] Al-Bukhari also narrated it in a Mu'allaq form. The statement, "Who will show kindness...", does not indicate the permissibility of the repetition being discussed, which is the following of one obligated prayer by another obligated prayer. What is established by it is the following of a voluntary prayer by an obligated prayer, and there is no ruling of dislike for this. Rather, another hadith supports its permissibility: "If you two pray among your men, then come to the prayer of a group, pray with them, and let your prayer with them be a voluntary one," as is apparent. What Al-Bukhari narrated in a suspended form from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) is understood to refer to a mosque on a travel route or similar, where it is reported that he gave the adhan and iqamah. This is disliked according to the general opinion, as understood from "Al-Mirqah" and other sources.
