English narration

Narrated by أبو ذر الغفاري

Abu Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked me: 'How will you act, Abu Dharr, when you are under rulers who kill prayer or delay it (beyond its proper time)?' I said: 'Messenger of Allah, what do you command me?' He replied: 'Offer the prayer at its proper time, and if you say it along with them, say it, for it will be a supererogatory prayer for you. '"

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ يَعْنِي الْجَوْنِيَّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ، كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْكَ أُمَرَاءُ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ ؟ أَوْ قَالَ : يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ . قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي ؟ قَالَ : صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ، فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهَا مَعَهُمْ فَصَلِّهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا لَكَ نَافِلَةٌ

" .
