Is it permissible to change the mosque where the prayer has concluded to an adjacent mosque where the prayer has not yet begun, knowing that I did not enter the first mosque?

Many hadiths have been reported that emphasize the obligation of congregational prayer and its virtue in the mosque, among them is the story of the blind man whom the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered to answer the call, and the Prophet's, peace and blessings be upon him, warning to those who fail to attend the congregation, and the story of the man who wanted his steps to and from the mosque to be recorded for him. Therefore, if the congregational prayer is missed in your mosque, go to a nearby mosque to catch it.
