[Machine] There was a prince among the princes who would delay the prayer. So I asked Abu Dharr and he hit my thigh and said, "I asked my intimate friend, meaning the Prophet ﷺ, and he hit my thigh and said, 'Pray the prayer at its specified time. If you catch up with them, pray with them and do not say, 'I have already prayed' for I will not pray with them."
كَانَ أَمِيرٌ مِنَ الْأُمَرَاءِ يُؤَخِّرُ الصَّلَاةَ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَضَرَبَ فَخِذِي فَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ خَلِيلِي يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَضَرَبَ فَخِذِي فَقَالَ صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِمِيقَاتِهَا فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا تَقُلْ إِنِّي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فَلَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مَعَهُمْ
