Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَحَجَّاجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عِ
مْرَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ أَوْصَانِي خَلِيلِي عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام بِثَلَاثَةٍ اسْمَعْ وَأَطِعْ وَلَوْ لِعَبْدٍ مُجَدَّعِ الْأَطْرَافِ وَإِذَا صَنَعْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِكَ فَأَصِبْهُمْ مِنْهُ بِمَعْرُوفٍ وَصَلِّ الصَّلَاةَ لِوَقْتِهَا وَإِذَا وَجَدْتَ الْإِمَامَ قَدْ صَلَّى فَقَدْ أَحْرَزْتَ صَلَاتَكَ وَإِلَّا فَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "My close friend, the Prophet دلوالله, commanded me with three things: listen and obey even if the leader is an Abyssinian slave; when you cook a broth, add extra water and share with your neighbors; and pray the prayer at its proper time, and if you find the congregation already praying, that prayer will be extra for you."
