So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ summoned Bilal and instructed him to give the iqama, whereupon he led the ẓuhr prayer … then he gave the iqama for ʿaṣr and performed it in the same manner; he then gave the iqama for maghrib and performed it likewise, and finally he gave the iqama for ʿishāʾ and performed it likewise … — end of the report.

Its chain of transmission is sound, and we have already cited it earlier, in the section on the adhān, issue (8). There we also mentioned a supporting narration from Ibn Masʿūd and reproduced its wording in the same discussion; it is virtually identical to this report of Abū Saʿīd. In one version al-Bayhaqī adds:
“Each prayer followed the other, with a separate iqama for each.”

The Shāfiʿī jurists adopt this view as well: when someone makes up several missed prayers at one time, he is to pronounce an iqama for each one—this is undisputed in their school, as stated in al-Majmūʿ.

13 – If a person has concluded the prayer, left the mosque, and only then remembers that he omitted a rakʿa or another essential element, and he wishes to return to complete it, he must repeat the iqama. For it is related that “the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once prayed, pronounced the taslīm, and departed while one rakʿa still remained. A man caught up with him and said, ‘You forgot a rakʿa of the prayer.’ The Prophet returned, re-entered the mosque, ordered Bilal to pronounce the iqama, and then led the people in the missing rakʿa.”

This narration comes from Muʿāwiya ibn Ḥudayj—spelled with an initial ḥāʾ and a diminutive jīm—and was recorded by Aḥmad, who said: “Ḥajjāj related to us; al-Layth related to us; Yazīd ibn Abī Ḥabīb told me that Suwayd ibn Qays informed him from Muʿāwiya ibn Ḥudayj that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ once prayed …” and so forth. At the end of the report he added: “I later informed the people of this, and they asked, ‘Do you know who that man was?’ I replied, ‘No—unless I should see him.’”
