قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ، ثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ؓ، قَالَ:

خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ وَهُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الْعِشَاءَ، فَقَالَ: « صَلَّى النَّاسُ وَرَقَدُوا وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْتَظِرُونَهَا ؟ أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا »، ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « لَوْلَا ضَعْفُ الضَّعِيفِ، وَكِبَرُ الْكَبِيرِ لَأَخَّرْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to his Companions one night while they were waiting for the 'Isha' prayer, and said: "The people have prayed and slept, while you are waiting for it? Verily, you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for it." Then he ﷺ said: "Were it not for the weakness of the weak and the old age of the elderly, I would have delayed this prayer until the middle of the night."
