اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هَاشِمٍ يَعْنِي الزَّعْفَرَانِيَّ ، حَدَّثَنِي صَالِحُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ قَبِيصَةَ بْنِ وَقَّاصٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَكُونُ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ مِنْ بَعْدِي يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ ، فَهِيَ لَكُمْ وَهِيَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَصَلُّوا مَعَهُمْ مَا صَلَّوْا الْقِبْلَةَ " .
Narrated Qabisah ibn Waqqas: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: After me you will be ruled by rulers who will delay the prayer and it will be to your credit but to their discredit. So pray with them so long as they pray facing the qiblah.
Brief Explanation
1؎ : The details have been mentioned in previous hadiths, and such prayers will be a source of reward for you because, in this delay, there will be no fault of your own. When, due to the compulsion of these rulers, you will not even have the courage to oppose them, then because of them, you will not be sinful for the delay in prayer; rather, all its burden will be upon them. «واللہ اعلم» Only a Muslim prays facing the qiblah; the meaning is that as long as they continue to pray and establish it, they are Muslims, and in good deeds, their obedience is obligatory.
