حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَنْعُمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ وَبَکْرِ بْنِ سَوَادَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ إِذَا قَضَی الْإِمَامُ الصَّلَاةَ وَقَعَدَ فَأَحْدَثَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَکَلَّمَ فَقَدْ تَمَّتْ صَلَاتُهُ وَمَنْ کَانَ خَلْفَهُ مِمَّنْ أَتَمَّ الصَّلَاةَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 617
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As: The Prophet ﷺ said: When the Imam completes the prayer and sits (for reciting tashahhud), and then becomes defiled (i. e. his ablution becomes void) before he speaks (to someone), his prayer becomes complete. And those who prayed behind him also complete the prayer.
