Friend missing salaah with jamaat

Q: I was in the car and going towards the mosque and it was me and the driver in the car. We were getting late for prayer in the mosque and got stuck in a alley in the car. To the best of memory I got out and asked the driver that just park towards the side of this alley and come as namaz is getting late. He said no no the car will get scratched. I made it to the mosque Alhumdullilah and got 1 rakah of prayer and prayed that he also makes it. Afterwards I found out that he missed the prayer and prayed alone in the mosque. Have I done someting bad or a sin?

A: No. you are not responsible for his actions.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
