If a person enter the mosque while the Imam is delivering the Khutba,he must  pray two Rakaas quickly as a greeting to the mosque. This is the order of the Prophet salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam! Who dares to go against that or justify going against it; be anyone’s action?

It is narrated from Khalid Al-Hadhdha’ that Abu Qilaba arrived while the Imam was delivering the sermon. He sat down and did not perform any prayer (Sharh Ma’ani ‘l-athar 1:369). Doesn’t this narration indicate that praying salaah *(upon arriving at the masjid) during the Friday khutbah is wrong?
