"On the authority of Ikrimah ibn Khalid, from a trustworthy narrator: 'Umar ibn al-Khattab led the people in the late 'Isha' prayer at al-Jabiyah and did not recite in it until he finished. When he finished, he entered, and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf went around him and cleared his throat until 'Abd al-Rahman heard his sound and knew he had a need. He said: Who is this? He said: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf. He said: Do you have a need? He said: Yes, come in. He entered and said: Did you see what you did just now? Did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ command you with it, or did you see it? He said: What is it? He said: You did not recite in the 'Isha' prayer. He said: Did I do that? He said: Yes. He said: Indeed I forgot. I equipped a caravan from Syria until it arrived in Medina, so he commanded the muezzin, who called the iqamah. Then he returned and led the people in 'Isha'. When he finished, he gave a sermon and said: There is no prayer for one who does not recite in it. What I did just now was that I forgot. I equipped a caravan () from Syria until it came to Medina, and I distributed it."
