قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ:

سَمِعَتْ عَائِشَةُ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؓ كَلَامِي بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الَّتِي تُسَمِّيهَا الْأَعْرَابُ الْعَتَمَةَ - قَالَ: وَكُنَّا فِي حُجْرَةٍ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَهَا سَعَفٌ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا عُرَيَّةُ - أَوْ يَا عُرْوَةُ - مَا هَذَا السَّمَرُ ؟ إِنِّي مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ [نَائِمًا قَبْلَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَلَا مُتَحَدِّثًا بَعْدَهَا، إِمَّا نَائِمًا فَيَسْلَمُ، وَإِمَّا مُصَلِّيًا فَيَغْنَمُ

✧ 'A'ishah, the Mother of the Believers ؓ heard my speech after the 'Isha' prayer, which the Bedouins call 'Atamah. He said: We were in a room between her and him separated by palm branches. She said: "O 'Urayyah – or O 'Urwah – what is this late-night conversation? I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sleeping before this prayer, nor conversing after it; either he slept and was safe, or he prayed and gained reward."
