Summary

A report from Malik that he was told that Abdullah ibn Umar and Zayd ibn Thabit (may God be pleased with him) used to say that whoever catches the rak'a has caught the prostration, meaning that catching the bowing with the imam counts as catching the whole rak'a. The editor notes that Abu Mus'ab, Suwayd and Yahya ibn Bukayr transmitted it, in al-Bayhaqi. 1
