The answer

It is disliked to run and rush to prayer, as it contradicts tranquility and solemnity, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When the prayer has been announced, do not come to it running. Come to it walking, and you should be tranquil. Whatever you catch, pray, and whatever you miss, complete." However, some scholars permitted rushing when there is a fear of completely missing the congregational prayer or Friday prayer, because the dislike is lifted in cases of need.
