English Translation

It was narrated from 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'There will come rulers who will be preoccupied with things that cause them to delay the prayer beyond its time. So pray the prayer at its time.' A man asked: 'And if I catch up with them, should I pray with them?' He ﷺ said: 'If you wish.'
