Hadith 510
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of 'Allah (ﷺ) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, his prayer would be cut off by (passing of an) ass, woman, and black dog. I said: O Abu Dharr, what feature is there in a black dog which distinguish it from the red dog and the yellow dog? He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil.
Hadith 648
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".
Hadith 648
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to me: O Abu Dharr, you would soon find after me rulers who would make their prayers dead. You should say prayer at its prescribed time. If you say prayer at its prescribed time that would be a supererogatory prayer for you, otherwise you saved your prayer.
Hadith 648
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: My friend (the Holy Prophet) bade me to hear and obey (the ruler) even if he is a slave having his feet and arms cut off, and observe prayer at its prescribed time. (And further said): It you find people having observed the prayer, you in fact saved your prayer, otherwise (if you join with them) that would be a Nafl prayer for you.
Hadith 648
Abu Dharr (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) struck my thigh and said: How would you act if you survive among the people who would delay prayers beyond their (prescribed) time? He (Abu Dharr) said: What do you command (under this situation)? He (the Holy Prophet) slid: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, then go (to meet) your needs, and if when he hears the Iqamah is pronounced, and you are present in the mosque, then observe prayer (along with the Jama'at).

وحَدَّثَنِي

إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ

أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ الْبَرَّاءِ ، قَالَ : أَخَّرَ ابْنُ زِيَادٍ الصَّلَاةَ ، فَجَاءَنِي
عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ ، فَأَلْقَيْتُ لَهُ كُرْسِيًّا ، فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ صَنِيعَ ابْنِ زِيَادٍ ، فَعَضَّ عَلَى شَفَتِهِ ، وَضَرَبَ فَخِذِي ، وَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ
أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي ، فَضَرَبَ فَخِذِي ، كَمَا ضَرَبْتُ فَخِذَكَ ، وَقَالَ : إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي ، فَضَرَبَ فَخِذِي ، كَمَا ضَرَبْتُ فَخِذَكَ ، وَقَالَ : " صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ، فَإِنْ أَدْرَكَتْكَ الصَّلَاةُ مَعَهُمْ ، فَصَلِّ ، وَلَا تَقُلْ إِنِّي قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ ، فَلَا أُصَلِّي " .
'Abu'l-'Aliyat al-Bara reported: Ibn Ziyad delayed the prayer. 'Abdullah bin Samit came to me and I placed a chair for him and he sat in it and I made a mention of what Ibn Ziyad had done. He bit his lips (as a sign of extreme anger and annoyance) and struck at my thigh and said: I asked Abu Dharr (RA) as you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I have struck your thigh, and said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) as you have asked me and he struck my thigh just as I have struck your thigh, and he (the Holy Prophet) said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, and if you can say prayer along with them. do so, and do not say "I have observed prayer and so I shall not pray."
Hadith 648
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.

Abu'l-'Aliyat al-Bara' reported: I said to 'Abdullah bin Samit: We say our Jumu'a prayer behind those rulers who defer the prayer. He ('Abdullah bin Samit), struck. my thigh that I felt pain and said: I asked Abu Dharr (RA) about it, he struck my thigh and said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) about it. Upon this he said: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, and treat prayer along with them (along with those Imams who deter prayer) as Nafl. 'Abdullah said: It was narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) struck the thigh of Abu Dharr.

أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ بَعْدِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي ، أَوْ سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي مِنْ أُمَّتِي ، قَوْمٌ يَقْرَءُونَ الْقُرْآنَ لَا يُجَاوِزُ حَلَاقِيمَهُمْ ، يَخْرُجُونَ مِنَ الدِّينِ كَمَا يَخْرُجُ السَّهْمُ مِنَ الرَّمِيَّةِ ، ثُمَّ لَا يَعُودُونَ فِيهِ ، هُمْ شَرُّ الْخَلْقِ وَالْخَلِيقَةِ " ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ الصَّامِتِ : فَلَقِيتُ
رَافِعَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْغِفَارِيَّ أَخَا الْحَكَمِ الْغِفَارِيِّ ، قُلْتُ : مَا حَدِيثٌ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ كَذَا وَكَذَا ، فَذَكَرْتُ لَهُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ ، فَقَالَ : وَأَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Abu Dharr (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Verily there would arise from my Ummah after me or soon after me a group (of people) who would recite the Qur'an, but it would not go beyond their throats, and they would pass clean through their religion just as the arrow passes through the prey, and they would never come back to it. They would be the worst among the creation and the creatures. Ibn Samit (one of the narrators) said: I met Rafi' bin 'Amr Ghifari, the brother of Al-Hakam Ghifari and I said: What is this hadith that I heard from Abu Dharr, i. e. so and so? and then I narrated that hadith to him and said: I heard it from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) .
Hadith 1837
It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Dharr (RA) who said: My friend (i. e. the Holy Prophet) advised me to listen (to the man in position of authority) and obey (him) even if he were a slave maimed (and disabled).
Hadith 2300
Abu Dharr (RA) said: Allah's Messenger, what about the vessels of that Cistern? He said: By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the vessels would outnumber the stars in the sky and its planets shining on a dark cloudless night. These would be the vessels of Paradise. He who drinks out of it (the Cistern) would never feel thirsty. There would flow in it two spouts from Paradise and he who would drink out of it would not feel thirsty; and the distance between its (two corners) is that between 'Amman and Aila, and its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey.

Abdullah bin Samit reported that Abu Dharr (RA) said: Son of my brother, I used to observe prayer two years before the advent of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) . I said: To which direction did you turn your face? He said: To which Allah directed me to turn my face. The rest of the hadith is the same but with this addition that they went to a Kahin and his brother Unais began to praise him until he (in verses declared) him (Unais) as winner (in the contest of poetry), and so we got his camels, mixed them with our camels, and there is in this hadith also these words that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came there and he circumambulated the House and observed two Rak'ahs of prayer behind the Station (of Ibrahim). I came to him and I was the first amongst persons to greet him with Assalam-o-'Alaikum, and I said to Allah's Messenger Let there be peace upon you. And he said: Let there be peace upon you too; who are you? And in the hadith (these words are) also found: Since how long have you been here? And Abu Bakr (RA) said: Let him be my guest tonight.
