Is the excuse for the man who was late for the congregational prayer - mentioned in the noble Hadith where the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Who will donate to this one?" - that he was traveling?

The scholars did not mention the reason for the man's delay in praying with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Some narrations state that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked him about the reason for his delay, and he gave an unspecified excuse. The hadith is used as proof for the permissibility of establishing a second congregational prayer after the first congregational prayer has ended in the mosque, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Will not a man give charity to this one by praying with him?" The scholars have differed on this matter. Some, like Ahmad and Ishaq, permitted it, while others, like Sufyan, Ibn al-Mubarak, Malik, and Al-Shafi'i, held the view that one should pray individually. As for Imam Ahmad's narration that mentions the Prophet asking about the reason for the delay, it is weak.
