حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ . ح ، قَالَ : وحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الزَّهْرَانِيُّ ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ : " كَيْفَ أَنْتَ ، إِذَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْكَ أُمَرَاءُ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا ، أَوْ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا ؟ قَالَ : قُلْتُ : فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي ؟ قَالَ : صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ، فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهَا مَعَهُمْ ، فَصَلِّ ، فَإِنَّهَا لَكَ نَافِلَةٌ " ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ خَلَفٌ : عَنْ وَقْتِهَا .
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: How would you act when you are under the rulers who would delay the prayer beyond its prescribed time, or they would make prayer a dead thing as far as its proper time is concerned? I said: What do you command? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe the prayer at its proper time, and if you can say it along with them do so, for it would be a supererogatory prayer for you. Khalaf (one of the narrators in the above hadith) has not mentioned "beyond their (prescribed) time".
