Answer
Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah and his family.
If prayer starts and a person is still on his way to the masjid, then he should not hurry in his walk; instead, he should walk with calmness and respect as indicated in the hadith of Abi Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him), in which he said: [The Prophet] (peace be upon him) said: “If salaat is started, do not approach it running, but approach it walking, with calmness. Whatever you catch up with, pray, and what you miss, complete it.”1
