"What kept you from praying? Are you not a Muslim man?" He said: "Yes, but I had already prayed with my family." The Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid to him: "When you come you should pray with the people even if you have already prayed." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 857)
أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَالِسًا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأُوذِنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَمِحْجَنٌ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ كَمَا هُوَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَعَ النَّاسِ أَلَسْتَ بِرَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ؟» قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلَكِنِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كُنْتُ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فِي أَهْلِي قَالَ «فَإِذَا جِئْتَ فَصَلِّ مَعَ النَّاسِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ»
