ahmad:21490Ismāʿīl > Ṣāliḥ b. Rustum > Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī > ʿAbdullāh b. Ṣāmit > Abū Dhar

[Machine] To me, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Abu Dharr, there will be rulers over you who will delay the prayer from its appointed time. If you happen to catch them, then pray the prayer at its time. And perhaps he mentioned during your journey, then approach them. If you find that they have already prayed, then you have indeed prayed. But if you find that they have not prayed, then you should pray with them, and it will be a voluntary prayer for you."  

أحمد:٢١٤٩٠حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ رُسْتُمَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ صَامِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ

لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا فَإِنْ أَنْتَ أَدْرَكْتَهُمْ فَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ فِي رَحْلِكَ ثُمَّ ائْتِهِمْ فَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُمْ قَدْ صَلَّوْا كُنْتَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتَهُمْ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا صَلَّيْتَ مَعَهُمْ فَتَكُونُ لَكَ نَافِلَةً

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me: 'How will you act, Abu Dharr, when you are under rulers who kill prayer or delay it (beyond its proper time) ?' I said: 'Messenger of Allah, what do you command me ?' He replied: 'Offer the prayer at its proper time, and if you say it along with them, say it, for it will be a supererogatory prayer for you.'"

لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْكَ أُمَرَاءُ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلاَةَ أَوْ قَالَ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلاَةَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي قَالَ صَلِّ الصَّلاَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهَا مَعَهُمْ فَصَلِّهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَكَ نَافِلَةٌ

"إِنَّه سيكونُ أُمَرَاءُ يُؤخِّرونَ الصَّلاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِها، أَلَا فَصَلِّ الصَّلاةَ لوقْتِها، ثمَّ إِيتِهم، فإِنْ كانُوا قدْ صَلَّوا كُنْت قدْ أحْرزْتَ صلَاتكَ وإِلَّا صلَّيْتَ معهُم فكانَتْ لك نافلةَ".
