Primary text

When making up the missed portions, the latecomer recites Al-Fatiha and the subsequent Surah, following the manner of what was missed. This is the argument for the ruling concerning the composition of the missed parts.

Supporting text

Al-Shafi'i stated that when the latecomer joins the prayer, they begin with Al-Fatiha and then recite the Surah in the second Takbir (following the prayer upon the Prophet, peace be upon him).
