حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا رَوْحٌ وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَا: ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: ثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ (رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) قَالَ: أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِشَاءَ تِسْعَ لَيَالٍ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: ثَمَانِي لَيَالٍ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! لَوْ أَنَّكَ عَجَّلْتَ لَكَانَ أَمْثَلَ لِقِيَامِنَا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، قَالَ: فَعَجَّلَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، قَالَ أَبِي: وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ فَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: سَبْعَ لَيَالٍ وَقَالَ عَفَّانُ: تِسْعَ لَيَالٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the ‘Isha prayer until one third of the night for eight or nine nights. One day, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! If you would lead us in this prayer earlier, it would be better for standing in prayer at night. So after that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would lead this prayer earlier. ‘Abd al-Samad mentioned seven nights and ‘Affan mentioned nine nights.
