Hadith of Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (RA)

حديث أبي ذر الغفاري رضي الله عنه

Hadith 937:134

Isma'il narrated to us, Ayyub narrated to us, from Abu al-'Aliyah al-Barra', who said: Ibn Ziyad delayed the prayer, so 'Abdullah ibn al-Samit came to me. I placed a chair for him and he sat upon it. I mentioned to him the action of Ibn Ziyad, so he bit his lip and struck my thigh, and said: "I asked Abu Dharr just as you asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I struck your thigh, and said: 'I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) just as you asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I struck your thigh, and said: "Perform the prayer at its time. Then, if you catch them [praying], pray with them, and do not say: 'I have already prayed, so I will not pray.'"

حدثنا إسماعيل، حدثنا أيوب، عن أبي العالية البراء، قال: أخر ابن زياد الصلاة، فأتاني عبد الله بن الصامت، فألقيت له كرسيا فجلس عليه، فذكرت له صنيع ابن زياد، فعض على شفته، وضرب فخذي، وقال: إني سألت أبا ذر، كما سألتني، فضرب فخذي كما ضربت على فخذك، وقال: إني سألت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كما سألتني، فضرب فخذي كما ضربت فخذك فقال: "صل الصلاة لوقتها، فإن أدركتك معهم فصل، ولا تقل: إني قد صليت فلا أصلي "
