My dear friend, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, enjoined three things on me:

(1) Hear and obey, even if the ruler is a slave with his limbs amputated.

(2) When you cook a stew, put an additional water in it and then go and see the people of a neighboring house and give them a reasonable amount of it.

(3) Pray the prayers at their proper times ˹and not delay them to pray in congregation˺. ˹You should still go to the masjid and˺ then if you find that the imam has already prayed, you have guarded your prayer. If not, ˹then pray along with the congregation a second time and˺ it will be a nafl (extra) prayer for you.  

أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي ﷺ بِثَلاَثٍ:

(١) أَسْمَعُ وَأُطِيعُ وَلَوْ لِعَبْدٍ مُجَدَّعِ الأَطْرَافِ

(٢) وَإِذَا صَنَعْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِكَ فَأَصِبْهُمْ مِنْهُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ

(٣) وَصَلِّ الصَّلاَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَ الإِمَامَ قَدْ صَلَّى فَقَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلاَتَكَ وَإِلاَّ فَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ  

Abu Dharr reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Abu Dharr! If you cook some stew, make a lot of it and fulfil your duty to your neighbours (or divide it among your neighbours)."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِذَا طَبَخْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَ الْمَرَقَةِ وَتَعَاهَدْ جِيرَانَكَ أَوِ اقْسِمْ فِي جِيرَانِكَ
