Observe prayer on its prescribed time, Respect religious leaders even if they are wrong in certain matters etc..

This hadith emphasizes the importance of praying at its prescribed time and not to follow those Imams who defer prayer. It was narrated by Abu'l-'Aliyat al-Bara', that he asked 'Abdullah b. Samit about praying behind those rulers who defer the prayer. Abdullah then told him that he asked Abu Dharr about it, and he in turn said that he asked the Messenger of Allah about it. The Prophet then said to observe prayer at its prescribed time and treat it as Nafl if one follows an Imam who defers prayer. Abdullah also mentioned that it was narrated to him that the Prophet struck Abd Dharr's thigh when conveying this message. This hadith teaches us how important it is for Muslims to pray on time and not be influenced by any external factors such as an Imam delaying or deferring prayers.
