حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی بْنُ يَحْيَی أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّهُ سَيَکُونُ بَعْدِي أُمَرَائُ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ فَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ صَلَّيْتَ لِوَقْتِهَا کَانَتْ لَکَ نَافِلَةً وَإِلَّا کُنْتَ قَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلَاتَکَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1466
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) 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 superetogatory prayer for you. Khalaf (one of the narrators in the above hadith) has not mentioned beyond their (prescribed) time .
