Chapter on the Virtue of Waiting for Prayer and Going to the Mosques
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 1046 — on the Virtue of Waiting for Prayer
عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ: سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ: هَلِ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ، أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ: ((النَّاسُ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَقَامُوا وَلَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا)) قَالَ أَنَسٌ: كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ الْآنَ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ
Humaid says: It was asked from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore a ring. He said: Yes, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once delayed the ‘Isha prayer until midnight. Then, when he (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished the prayer, he turned towards us, the Companions, and said: (The people of the other mosques) have performed this prayer and gone to sleep, but as long as you remained waiting for this prayer, you were in prayer. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is as if I am still looking at the shine of the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) ring.
