سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 432
Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Amr ibn Maymun al-Awdi said: Muadh ibn Jabal, the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us in Yemen, I heard his takbir (utterance of AllahuAkbar) in the dawn prayer. He was a man with loud voice. I began to love him. I did depart from him until I buried him dead in Syria (i. e. until his death). Then I searched for a person who had deep understanding in religion amongst the people after him. So I came to Ibn Masud and remained in his company until his death. He (Ibn Masud) said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: How will you act when you are ruled by rulers who say prayer beyond its proper time? I said: What do you command me, Messenger of Allah, if I witness such a time? He replied: Offer the prayer at its proper time and also say your prayer along with them as a supererogatory prayer.
