“Offer prayer on time, and if you reached the Imam leading them in prayers (on time), then perform it with them, and you will be safe with your prayer, otherwise it will be voluntary for you.”

[Machine] My friend Khalil asked Abu Dharr, so he hit my thigh and said, "I asked my friend, meaning the Prophet ﷺ, so he said, 'Pray at its prescribed time. If you catch it, pray with them and do not say, 'I have already prayed, so I will not pray.'"

سَأَلَتُ خَلِيلِي أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَضَرَبَ فَخِذِي وَقَالَ سَأَلْتُ خَلِيلِي يَعْنِي النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ صَلِّ لِمِيقَاتِهَافَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَ فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ وَلَا تَقُولَنَّ إِنِّي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ فَلَا أُصَلِّي

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَئِمَّةٌ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُمُوهُمْ فَصَلُّوا الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَاجْعَلُوا صَلَاتَكُمْ مَعَهُمْ نَافِلَةً
