أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَصَلَّى بِصَلَاتِهِ نَاسٌ ثُمَّ صَلَّى مِنَ الْقَابِلَةِ فَكَثُرَ النَّاسُ ثُمَّ اجْتَمَعُوا مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةِ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ «قَدْ رَأَيْتُ الَّذِي صَنَعْتُمْ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي مِنَ الْخُرُوجِ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا أَنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُفْرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ» وَذَلِكَ فِي رَمَضَانَ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed in the mosque one night, and people prayed with him. Then he prayed the next night, and more people came. Then they gathered on the third or fourth night, but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not come out to them. When morning came, he said, 'I saw what you did, and nothing prevented me from coming out to you except that I feared it would be made obligatory upon you.' That was in Ramadan.
