This hadith is listed as number 1470 in Maktaba Shamila
وحَدَّثَنَا وحَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ النَّضْرِ التَّيْمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ : كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ ؟ أَوَ قَالَ : كَيْفَ أَنْتَ ، " إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي قَوْمٍ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا ، فَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ، ثُمَّ إِنْ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ ، فَصَلِّ مَعَهُمْ ، فَإِنَّهَا زِيَادَةُ خَيْرٍ " .
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: (The Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) said: How would you, or how would thou, act if you survive to live among people who defer prayer beyond the (prescribed) time? (The narrator said: Allah and His Messenger know best). whereupon he said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, but if when he hears the Iqamah is pronounced for (congregational) prayer, then observe prayer along with them. for herein is an excess of virtue.
