The Ruling on Haste and Running in order to catch the Prayer

Question :

Many Muslims take great care not to miss anything of the prayer, due to which, when they approach the mosque and they hear the Imam praying, they start to run to the mosque in order to catch the prayer. What is the ruling on this action, or this phenomenon?

Answer:

Hastening and running is disliked and should not be done, as the Prophet said:
"When you come to prayer, walk and you must be calm and dignified; and whatever you catch, pray it, and whatever you missed, make up for it.

In another version:
"Do not come to it (i.e. the prayer) rushing, but come to it calmly; and whatever you catch, pray it, and whatever you missed, make up for it.

The Sunnah is to approach it walking slowly, at a normal pace, humbly, without haste, peacefully and tranquilly, until one reaches the row - that is the Sunnah.
