He caught the Prayer while the Imam was Bowing

Question :

A worshipper arrived late for the prayer and found the Imam bowing, so he made the Takhir and bowed with the Imam before he straightened up from bowing. Is it necessary for the worshipper to make up that Rak'ah after the Imam makes the Taslim?

Answer:

When the worshipper makes the first Takbir while standing, then bows while the Imam is bowing, that Rak'ah is accredited to him, according to the Hadith of Abu Bakrah, may Allah be pleased with him, in which he came to the Prophet while he was bowing and so he bowed with him before he reached the row; and (afterwards) the Prophet said to him:

"May Allah increase you in endeavor, but do not repeat it.And Abu Dawud added: "... and he bowed outside the row, then walked to the row."And the narration of Abu Dawud from him in which he said:

"Whoever caught the bowing has caught the Rak'ah. And may peace and blessings be upon Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.
