Ibn Ziyad delayed the prayer, so Abdullah bin Samit came to me. I set out 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 just as you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I have struck yours, and he said, 'I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ just as you have asked me, and he struck my thigh just as I have struck yours, and he said, "Pray the prayer at its proper time. Then if you catch the prayer being held with them, pray with them, and do not say, I have already prayed, so I will not pray."'"
و حدثني زهير بن حرب حدثنا إسمعيل بن إبراهيم عن أيوب
أخر ابن زياد الصلاة فجاءني 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 فخذك وقال إني سألت رسول الله ﷺ كما سألتني فضرب فخذي كما ضربت فخذك وقال صل الصلاة لوقتها فإن أدركتك الصلاة معهم فصل ولا تقل إني قد صليت فلا أصلي
