Ibn Ziyad delayed the prayer, so Abdullah bin Samit came to me. I placed a chair for him and he sat on it. I mentioned to him what Ibn Ziyad had done. He bit his lip and struck my thigh, saying, "I asked Abu Dharr the same question you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I struck your thigh, and said, 'I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the same question you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I struck your thigh and said, "Pray the prayer at its proper time. Then if you catch it with them, pray with them as well, and do not say, I have already prayed, so I will not pray now."'"
حدثنا إسماعيل حدثنا أيوب
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 ﷺ كما سألتني فضرب فخذي كما ضربت فخذك فقال صل الصلاة لوقتها فإن أدركتك معهم فصل ولا تقل إني قد صليت ولا أصلي
