Narrated Ubadah ibn as-Samit: After me you will come under rulers who will be detained from saying prayer at its proper time by (their) works until its time has run out, so offer prayer at its proper time. A man asked him: Messenger of Allah, may I offer prayer with them? He replied: Yes, if you wish (to do so). Sufyan (another narrator through a different chain)said: May I offer prayer with them if I get it with them? He said: Yes, if you wish to do so.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
433. Commentary:

➊ That is, if a follower of the Sunnah is able to maintain his individuality and, while establishing the proof against such people, does not join them, then it is permissible. And if he joins and prays again, there is also no harm in that. This will be considered a voluntary (nafl) prayer, as has been mentioned in the preceding hadiths.

➋ In the first chain of narration of this hadith, there is a narrator: "the son of the sister (nephew) of 'Ubadah ibn Samit." However, the correct view is that he is the son of his wife, as is mentioned in the second chain.
