اُردوEn
(وَعَنْهُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَّرَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى كَادَ يَذْهَبُ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ قُرَابُهُ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ جَاءَ وَفِي النَّاسِ رِقَّةٌ وَهُمْ عِزُونَ فَغَضِبَ غَضَبًا شَدِيدًا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ((لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا بَدَا النَّاسَ إِلَى عَرْقٍ أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ لَأَجَابُوا لَهُ، وَهُمْ يَتَخَلَّلُونَ عَنْ هَٰذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ، لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَأْمُرَ رَجُلًا فَيَتَخَلَّلَ عَلَى أَهْلِ هَٰذِهِ الدُّورِ الَّذِينَ يَتَخَلَّلُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَأُحَرِّقَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِالنِّيرَانِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that one night the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, delayed the ‘Isha prayer until a third of the night or nearly that time had passed. Then, when he, peace and blessings be upon him, came, there were few people and they were sitting in groups. So he, peace and blessings be upon him, became extremely angry and then said: If a man were to call these people in their locality towards a bone with meat or two hooves, they would surely accept his call. These people lag behind even from this prayer. Indeed, I have intended that I order a man to lead the prayer, and I go to those households who lag behind from this prayer and burn their houses along with them with fire.
