حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَةُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ النَّاجِيِّ الْبَصْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي الْمُتَوَكِّلِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ وَقَدْ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " أَيُّكُمْ يَتَّجِرُ عَلَى هَذَا " . فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى مَعَهُ . قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ وَأَبِي مُوسَى وَالْحَكَمِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى وَحَدِيثُ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ . وَهُوَ قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَغَيْرِهِمْ مِنَ التَّابِعِينَ قَالُوا لاَ بَأْسَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الْقَوْمُ جَمَاعَةً فِي مَسْجِدٍ قَدْ صُلِّيَ فِيهِ جَمَاعَةً . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ أَحْمَدُ وَإِسْحَاقُ . وَقَالَ آخَرُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يُصَلُّونَ فُرَادَى . وَبِهِ يَقُولُ سُفْيَانُ وَابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ وَمَالِكٌ وَالشَّافِعِيُّ يَخْتَارُونَ الصَّلاَةَ فُرَادَى . وَسُلَيْمَانُ النَّاجِيُّ بَصْرِيٌّ وَيُقَالُ سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الأَسْوَدِ . وَأَبُو الْمُتَوَكِّلِ اسْمُهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ دَاوُدَ .

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 220
This Hadith teaches helping a latecomer pray in congregation. Abu Sa'eed narrates that a man came after Allah's Messenger had already prayed. The Prophet said, Which of you will give some reward to this person? Then a man stood and prayed with him. The wording shows care for a person who missed the main congregation. Instead of leaving him alone, someone joined him so he could pray with another person. The report also mentions discussion among scholars about praying another congregation in a masjid where the main congregation had already prayed. The direct lesson is kindness, help, and concern for another person's salah.
What we learn from this hadith
- The Prophet encouraged someone to pray with the man who came late.
- The act allowed the latecomer to pray with another person.
- The wording describes this help as a way of gaining reward.
- The Hadith shows care for people who miss the main congregation.
