It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that one night the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the Isha prayer until a large part of the night had passed and the people of the mosque had fallen asleep. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came, led the prayer, and said: This would be the time for this prayer, if it were not difficult for my Ummah.
