Did the Prophet (peace be upon him) ever pray as a latecomer (masbuq)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed as a latecomer behind Abdur-Rahman ibn Awf in the Battle of Tabuk. The Prophet was late for the prayer, so the Companions put Ibn Awf forward to lead them. When the Prophet arrived, he prayed what remained of the prayer behind Ibn Awf, then he completed what he had missed after Ibn Awf had made the taslim.
