Abu Aliah narrates from Bara, who says: Abdullah bin Ziyad delayed the prayer. Abdullah bin Samit came to me, and I spread a chair for him. He sat on it, and I mentioned to him what Ibn Ziyad had done. He began biting his lip and struck his hand on my thigh and said: Just as you asked me this question, I also asked Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) the same. He too struck his hand on my thigh just as I have struck yours. He said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the same question you have asked me, and he struck his hand on my thigh just as I have struck yours. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perform the prayer at its appointed time. After that, if you get the opportunity to pray with them, then pray, and do not say, "I have already prayed, so I will not pray."
