✅Answer:

✅ Someone who joins the congregational prayer before the rows disperse:

1 أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَنْتَهِي إِلَى الْإِمَامِ حِينَ يُسَلِّمُ قَالَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يُعِيدَ الْأَذَانَ فَلْيَدْخُلْ مَعَهُمْ فِي أَذَانِهِمْ فَإِنْ وَجَدَهُمْ قَدْ تَفَرَّقُوا أَعَادَ الْأَذَان

📚 Al-Kafi, vol. 3, p. 304

Abu Basir said: I asked the Imam (Sadiq, peace be upon him) about a person who joins the congregational prayer when the Imam is saying the salutation. The Imam said: 'It is not obligatory for him to repeat the Adhan; he should join them in their Adhan. However, if he finds that they have dispersed, he should repeat the Adhan!'

2 عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَن أَبِي عَبْداللَّه قال: قُلْتُ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ قَدْ صَلَّى الْقَوْمُ أَ يُؤَذِّنُ وَ يُقِيمُ قَالَ إِنْ كَانَ دَخَلَ وَ لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقِ الصَّفُّ صَلَّى بِأَذَانِهِمْ وَ إِقَامَتِهِمْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ تَفَرَّقَ الصَّفُّ أَذَّنَ وَ أَقَام

📚 Tahdhib, vol. 2, p. 281

Abu Basir said: I said to Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him): 'A man enters the mosque while the people have already prayed. Should he say the Adhan and Iqamah?' He said: 'If he enters while the prayer rows have not yet dispersed, he should pray with their Adhan and Iqamah. If the rows have dispersed, he should say the Adhan and Iqamah!'

3 عَنْ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَجُلَانِ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ قَدْ صَلَّى النَّاسُ فَقَالَ لَهُمَا عَلِيٌّ إِنْ شِئْتُمَا فَلْيَؤُمَّ أَحَدُكُمَا صَاحِبَهُ وَ لَا يُؤَذِّنُ وَ لَا يُقِيمُ

📚 Tahdhib, vol. 2, p. 281

Two men entered the mosque while the people had already prayed. So Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: 'If you wish, one of you can lead his companion in prayer and not say the Adhan and Iqamah!'

4 عَنْ عَلِيٍّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ قَدْ صَلَّى أَهْلُهُ فَلَا يُؤَذِّنَنَّ وَ لَا يُقِيمَنَّ وَ لَا يَتَطَوَّعْ حَتَّى يَبْدَأَ بِصَلَاةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ لَا يَخْرُجْ مِنْهُ إِلَى غَيْرِهِ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ

📚 Tahdhib, vol. 3, p. 56

Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: 'When a person enters the mosque while its people have already prayed the (congregational) prayer, he should never say the Adhan and Iqamah or pray the supererogatory prayer until he begins the obligatory prayer, and he should not leave that place for another until he prays in it!'

✅ Someone who hears the Adhan and Iqamah of another person:

5 عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ صَلَّى بِنَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ فِي قَمِيصٍ بِلَا إِزَارٍ وَ لَا رِدَاءٍ وَ لَا أَذَانٍ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٍ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قُلْتُ لَهُ عَافَاكَ اللَّهُ صَلَّيْتَ بِنَا فِي قَمِيصٍ بِلَا إِزَارٍ وَ لَا رِدَاءٍ وَ لَا أَذَانٍ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ قَمِيصِي كَثِيفٌ فَهُوَ يُجْزِي أَنْ لَا يَكُونَ عَلَيَّ إِزَارٌ وَ لَا رِدَاءٌ وَ إِنِّي مَرَرْتُ بِجَعْفَرٍ وَ هُوَ يُؤَذِّنُ وَ يُقِيمُ فَلَمْ أَتَكَلَّمْ فَأَجْزَأَنِي ذَلِكَ

📚 Tahdhib, vol. 2, p. 280

Abu Maryam al-Ansari said: 'Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) led us in prayer wearing a single (Arab) shirt, without a waistcloth or cloak, and without Adhan or Iqamah!'

When they finished the prayer, I said to him: 'May Allah grant you well-being, you led us in prayer in a single shirt, without a waistcloth or cloak, and without Adhan or Iqamah?!' He said: 'Indeed, my shirt was thick, and it sufficed so that I did not need a waistcloth or cloak. And I passed by Ja'far (peace be upon him) and he was saying the Adhan and Iqamah, and I did not speak, so his Adhan and Iqamah sufficed for me!'

6 عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَر قال: كُنَّا مَعَهُ فَسَمِعَ إِقَامَةَ جَارٍ لَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَالَ قُومُوا فَقُمْنَا فَصَلَّيْنَا مَعَهُ بِغَيْرِ أَذَانٍ وَ لَا إِقَامَةٍ وَ قَالَ يُجْزِئُكُمْ أَذَانُ جَارِكُمْ

📚 Tahdhib, vol. 2, p. 285

Amr ibn Khalid said: 'We were with Imam Baqir (peace be upon him), and he heard the sound of his neighbor's Iqamah for prayer. He then said: 'Stand up!' So we stood up and prayed with him in a congregation, and he said: 'The Adhan of your neighbor is sufficient for you!'

7 عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّه قَالَ: إِذَا أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ فَنَقَصَ الْأَذَانَ وَ أَنْتَ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ بِأَذَانِهِ فَأَتِمَّ مَا نَقَصَ هُوَ مِنْ أَذَانِهِ

📚 Tahdhib, vol. 2, p. 280

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: 'When a muezzin says the Adhan and he omits a part of it, and you intend to pray with his Adhan, then you should complete what he has omitted from the Adhan!'
