Narrated Yazid ibn Amir: I came while the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم was saying the prayer. I sat down and did not pray along with them. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم turned towards us and saw that Yazid was sitting there. He said: Did you not embrace Islam, Yazid? He replied: Why not, Messenger of Allah; I have embraced Islam. He said: What prevented you from saying prayer along with the people? He replied: I have already prayed in my house, and I thought that you had prayed (in congregation). He said: When you come to pray (in the mosque) and find the people praying, then you should pray along with them, though you have already prayed. This will be a supererogatory prayer for you and that will be counted as obligatory.

Abu Dharr said: "The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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. '"

Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Amr ibn Maymun al-Awdi said: Muadh ibn Jabal, the Messenger of the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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 صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم 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.

Narrated Ubadah ibn as-Samit: After me you will come under rulers who will be detained from saying prayer at its proper time by (their) works until its time has run out, so offer prayer at its proper time. A man asked him: Messenger of Allah, may I offer prayer with them? He replied: Yes, if you wish (to do so). Sufyan (another narrator through a different chain)said: May I offer prayer with them if I get it with them? He said: Yes, if you wish to do so.

Narrated Qabisah ibn Waqqas: The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: After me you will be ruled by rulers who will delay the prayer and it will be to your credit but to their discredit. So pray with them so long as they pray facing the qiblah.

Narrated Yazid ibn al-Aswad: Yazid prayed along with the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم when he was a young boy. When he (the Prophet) had prayed there were two persons (sitting) in the corner of the mosque; they did not pray (along with the Prophet). He called for them. They were brought trembling (before him). He asked: What prevented you from praying along with us? They replied: We have already prayed in our houses. He said: Do not do so. If any of you prays in his house and finds that the imam has not prayed, he should pray along with him; and that will be a supererogatory prayer for him.
