"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 فِي مَجْلِسٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأُذِّنَ بِالصَّلَاةِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ وَمِحْجَنٌ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا مَنَعَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّي؟ أَلَسْتَ بِرَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ؟» قَالَ بَلَى وَلَكِنِّي كُنْتُ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فِي أَهْلِي فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِذَا جِئْتَ فَصَلِّ مَعَ النَّاسِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ»
