حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ يَعْنِي الْجَوْنِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا كَانَتْ عَلَيْكَ أُمَرَاءُ يُمِيتُونَ الصَّلَاةَ ؟ أَوْ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ. قُلْتُ:‏‏‏‏ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتَهَا مَعَهُمْ فَصَلِّهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهَا لَكَ نَافِلَةٌ .

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. '
