يُصَلِّي he prays
A present-tense verb, 'he prays/leads', with 'he' built in; placed after the 'began' verb it names the action he set about. The ongoing present suits the continuous praying.

He was praying, then his mother came to him and called him.
يُصَلِّي praying
This is a present-shape verb supplying the action that the preceding 'was' frames as already in progress. Arabic pairs a past 'to be' with a present-shape verb to build the 'was doing' meaning, so its present form here reads as background, not as something happening now.
