أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي هِنْدَ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ قَالَ
صُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ حَتَّى بَقِيَ سَبْعٌ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ فَقَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نَحْوٌ مِنْ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ كَانَتْ سَادِسَةٌ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْخَامِسَةُ قَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ نَحْوٌ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ نَفَّلْتَنَا قِيَامَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا صَلَّى مَعَ الْإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ حُسِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ» قَالَ ثُمَّ كَانَتِ الرَّابِعَةُ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا فَلَمَّا بَقِيَ ثَلَاثٌ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ أَرْسَلَ إِلَى بَنَاتِهِ وَنِسَائِهِ وَحَشَدَ النَّاسَ فَقَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى خَشِينَا أَنْ يَفُوتَنَا الْفَلَاحُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا شَيْئًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ قَالَ دَاوُدُ قُلْتُ مَا الْفَلَاحُ؟ قَالَ السَّحُورُ

✧ We fasted Ramadan with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ did not lead us in night prayer until seven nights remained of the month. Then he led us until about a third of the night had passed. Then the sixth night came and he did not lead us. When the fifth night came, he led us until about half the night had passed. I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, if only you would grant us voluntary prayer for the rest of this night.' He said, 'When a man prays with the imam until he finishes, it is counted for him as praying the whole night.' He said, 'Then the fourth night came and he did not lead us. When three nights remained of the month, he sent for his daughters and women, gathered the people, and led us until we feared we would miss the pre-dawn meal.' Then he did not lead us for any of the rest of the month. Dawud said, 'I asked, "What is al-falah?" He said, "The pre-dawn meal."'
