It is narrated from Abu Al-Aliyah Bara’ (may Allah have mercy on him) that Abdullah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by me, so I spread a mat for him and he sat on it. I asked him: Ibn Ziyad delays the prayer a lot, what do you say about this? He struck my thigh hard until a mark appeared on it. Then he said: I asked Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) the same thing you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I have struck yours. And he said: Perform the prayer at its proper time, then if you find the congregation with them, pray with them as well, and do not say: I have already prayed, so I will not pray.
