[Machine] This is how the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to act when there were three of us, then he prayed with us. When he finished, he said, "There will be leaders who will delay the prayer from its proper time, so do not wait for them and perform the prayer with them as a separate prayer."  

أحمد:٤٣٤٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَعَلْقَمَةُ عَلَى عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ بِالْهَاجِرَةِ فَلَمَّا مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي وَبِيَدِصَاحِبِي فَجَعَلَنَا عَنْ نَاحِيَتَيْهِ وَقَامَ بَيْنَنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ

هَكَذَا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصْنَعُ إِذَا كَانُوا ثَلَاثَةً ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِنَا فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ أَئِمَّةٌ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا فَلَا تَنْتَظِرُوهُمْ بِهَا وَاجْعَلُوا الصَّلَاةَ مَعَهُمْ سُبْحَةً
