Is the ḥadīth, "Whoever catches the rukūʿ has caught the rakʿah," which Al-Albānī mentioned in Irwāʾ al-Ghalīl (Vol. 2, No. 496), authentic, and what is its تخريج (takhrij/narration)?

The mentioned in Irwa al-Ghalil is not found verbatim in the reliable books of hadith. However, Sheikh Al-Albani cited strong corroborating evidence for it, indicating two things: that a rak'ah is caught by catching the ruku', and the permissibility of performing ruku' outside the row (saff).
