أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو طَاهِرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، ( ح ) وَحَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْقَزَّازُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، ( ح ) وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ دَاوُدَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ:
انْتَظَرْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ فَصَلَّى بِنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ: خُذُوا مَقَاعِدَكُمْ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ أَخَذُوا مَضَاجِعَهُمْ؛ فَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مُنْذُ انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا، وَلَوْلَا ضَعْفُ الضَّعِيفِ وَسَقَمُ السَّقِيمِ وَحَاجَةُ ذِي الْحَاجَةِ لَأَخَّرْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ".

✧ We waited for the Messenger of God ﷺ for the night prayer until half the night had passed. Then he came and prayed with us, then said: Take your seats, for the people have taken to their beds. You will remain in prayer since you began waiting for it. Were it not for the weakness of the weak, the illness of the sick, and the need of the needy, I would delay this prayer until half the night.
