Arabic text

صَلِّ الصَّلاَةَ لِوَقْتِهَا الْمُوَقَّتِ لَهَا، وَلَا تُعَجِّلْ وَقْتَهَا لِفَرَاغٍ، وَلَا تُؤْخِّرْهَا عَنْ وَقْتِهَا لِاشْتِغَالٍ، وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ عَمَلِكَ تَبَعٌ لِصَلاَتِكَ.

Translation

Say prayers at the appointed time. Do not say it earlier for the sake of (available) leisure nor delay it on account of pre-occupation. Remember that every act of yours is dependent on your prayer.
