Sahih Muslim 648d (Book 5, Hadith 301) #8615
The Importance of Praying on Time

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) advised Abu Dharr to observe prayer at its prescribed time and if the Iqama is pronounced, then join the congregation.

Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah struck my thigh and said: How would you act if you survive among the people who would delay prayers beyond their (prescribed) time? He (Abu Dharr) said: What do you command (under this situation)? He (the Holy Prophet) slid: Observe prayer at its prescribed time, then go (to meet) your needs, and if the Iqama is pronounced, and you are present in the mosque, then observe prayer (along with the Jama'at).
وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ حَبِيبٍ الْحَارِثِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ بُدَيْلٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْعَالِيَةِ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَضَرَبَ فَخِذِي ‏"‏ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا بَقِيتَ فِي قَوْمٍ يُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلاَةَ عَنْ وَقْتِهَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قَالَ مَا تَأْمُرُ قَالَ ‏"‏ صَلِّ الصَّلاَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا ثُمَّ اذْهَبْ لِحَاجَتِكَ فَإِنْ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ وَأَنْتَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلِّ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith highlights the importance of praying on time. It was narrated by Abu Dharr who reported that the Messenger of Allah struck his thigh and asked him how he would act if he survived among people who delay their prayers beyond their prescribed time. The Prophet then advised him to observe prayer at its prescribed time and if the Iqama is pronounced, then join the congregation. This hadith teaches us that we should not delay our prayers beyond their prescribed times as it is a sin in Islam. We should also try to join congregational prayers whenever possible as it has more reward than praying alone. Moreover, this hadith also teaches us about punctuality which is an important trait for any Muslim to have in order to be successful in life.
