[ح] وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْجَبَّارِ، مَرَّةً، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، وَعَمْرٍو، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَخَّرَ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ، فَقَالَ: الصَّلَاةُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَقَدَ النِّسَاءُ وَالْوِلْدَانُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَالْمَاءُ يَقْطُرُ عَنْ رَأْسِهِ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُهُ عَنْ شِقَّيْهِ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ. وَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا: إِنَّهُ الْوَقْتُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي.

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ delayed the night prayer one night, so Umar went out and said: The prayer, O Messenger of God, the women and children have slept. The Messenger of God ﷺ came out with water dripping from his head, and he was wiping it from his sides, saying: Were it not that I would burden my community, I would command them to pray at this hour. One of the two said: It is the time, were it not that I would burden my community.
