ذِكْرُ مَا يَجِبُ عَلَى الْمَرْءِ عِنْدَ تَأْخِيرِ الْأُمَرَاءِ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ أَوْقَاتِهَا

(The Messenger of Allah) said: How would you, or how would thou, act if you survive to live among people who defer prayer beyond the (prescribed) time? (The narrator said: Allah and His Messenger know best). whereupon he said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, but if the Iqama is pronounced for (congregational) prayer, then observe prayer along with them. for herein is an excess of virtue.  

كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي قَوْمٍ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلاَةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا فَصَلِّ الصَّلاَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ إِنْ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ فَإِنَّهَا زِيَادَةُ خَيْرٍ  

"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  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "O Abu Dharr, how would you be if you remain among people who delay the prayer beyond its time?" Abu Dharr answered, so he (the Prophet) said to me, "Pray the prayer at its appointed time. If you catch up with them and they have not prayed, then pray with them, and do not say 'I have already prayed' or 'I will not pray'."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي قَوْمٍ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا؟ قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهُمْ لَمْ يُصَلُّوا فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا تَقُلْ إِنِّي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ وَلَا أُصَلِّي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "What would you do if you were among people who delay the prayer from its time?" He said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Pray the prayer at its appointed time and then leave, for if the prayer is established while you are in the mosque, then pray with them."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لَهُ «كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي قَوْمٍ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا؟» قَالَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَاخْرُجْ فَإِنْ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ وَأَنْتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ»  

"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.'" (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 431)   

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا كَانَ عَلَيْكَ أُمَرَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا؟ أَوْ قَالَ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي؟ قَالَ صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهَا مَعَهُمْ فَصَلِّ؛ فَإِنَّهَا لَكَ نَافِلَةٌ  

"كَيف أنْتَ إِذَا كَانَت عَلَيكَ أمَرَاء يؤَخِّرونَ الصلاة عَن وَقْتِهَا؟ صَل الصلاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ أدْرَكْتَهَا مَعَهمْ فَصَلِّ فَإِنهَا لَكَ نَافِلَة".
