حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الضُّبَعِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أُمَرَاءُ يَكُونُونَ بَعْدِي يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلاَةَ فَصَلِّ الصَّلاَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا فَإِنْ صُلِّيَتْ لِوَقْتِهَا كَانَتْ لَكَ نَافِلَةً وَإِلاَّ كُنْتَ قَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلاَتَكَ ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي ذَرٍّ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ‏.‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ الصَّلاَةَ لِمِيقَاتِهَا إِذَا أَخَّرَهَا الإِمَامُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي مَعَ الإِمَامِ وَالصَّلاَةُ الأُولَى هِيَ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ‏.‏ وَأَبُو عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيُّ اسْمُهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ ‏.‏

Muḥammad ibn Mūsā al-Baṣrī narrated to us: Jaʿfar ibn Sulaymān al-Ḍubaʿī narrated to us, from Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn al-Ṣāmit, from Abū Dharr, who said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Abū Dharr, leaders will come after me who will cause prayer to die. Pray at its appointed time. If it is prayed at its appointed time [with them], it will be voluntary for you; otherwise, you will already have secured your prayer.” There are also reports on this topic from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Masʿūd and ʿUbādah ibn al-Ṣāmit. Abū ʿĪsā said: The hadith of Abū Dharr is hasan. More than one scholar recommended that a person pray at the appointed time when the imam delays the prayer, then pray with the imam. According to most scholars, the first prayer is the obligatory one. Abū ʿImrān al-Jawnī’s name was ʿAbd al-Malik ibn Ḥabīb.

  • ‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ يَسْتَحِبُّونَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الرَّجُلُ الصَّلاَةَ لِمِيقَاتِهَا إِذَا أَخَّرَهَا الإِمَامُ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي مَعَ الإِمَامِ وَالصَّلاَةُ الأُولَى هِيَ الْمَكْتُوبَةُ عِنْدَ أَكْثَرِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ ‏.

    The compiler’s explanation says to pray at the prayer’s time and then with an imam who delayed it; most scholars considered the first prayer obligatory.

    No decision requested; the report and the compiler’s stated legal interpretation are distinguished.
