Hadith #47

وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنِ اِبْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَنِ اَلْإِمَامِ أَكُونُ مَعَهُ فَأَفْرُغُ مِنَ اَلْقِرَاءَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَفْرُغَ قَالَ« فَأَمْسِكْ آيَةً وَ مَجِّدِ اَللَّهَ وَ أَثْنِ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ فَاقْرَأِ اَلْآيَةَ وَ اِرْكَعْ»

And from him, from Safwan, from Ibn Bukayr, from Zurarah, who said: I asked Aba Abdillah , peace be upon him, about being with the imam (of prayer) and finishing my recitation before he finishes. Imam said: “Then withhold one verse, and glorify Allah and praise Him . When he finishes, then recite the verse and bow.”
