376 صحيح حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: أَعْتَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً بِالْعِشَاءِ حَتَّى رَقَدَ النَّاسُ وَاسْتَيْقَظُوا، وَرَقَدُوا وَاسْتَيْقَظُوا؛ فَقَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ، فَقَالَ: الصَّلاَةَ فَخَرَجَ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ الآنَ، يَقْطُرُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً، وَاضِعًا يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لأَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُصَلُّوهَا هكَذَا (قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ الرَّاوِي عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، الرَّاوِي عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ) فَاسْتَثْبَتُّ عَطَاءً كَيْفَ وَضَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ يَدَهُ كَمَا أَنْبَأَهُ ابْنُ عبَّاسٍ، فَبَدَّدَ لِي عَطَاءٌ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ تَبْدِيدٍ، ثُمَّ وَضَعَ أَطْرَافَ أَصَابِعِهِ عَلَى قَرْنِ الرَّأْسِ ثُمَّ ضَمَّهَا، يُمِرُّهَا كَذلِكَ عَلَى الرَّأْسِ حَتَّى مَسَّتْ إِبْهَامُهُ طَرَفَ الأُذُنِ مِمَّا يَلِي الْوَجْهَ عَلَى الصُّدْغِ وَنَاحِيَةِ اللِّحْيَةِ، لاَ يُقَصِّرُ وَلاَ يَبْطشُ إِلاَّ كَذلِكَ، وَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لأَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُصَلُّوهَا هكَذَا
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the ‘Isha prayer one night, as a result of which people (remained in the mosque and) fell asleep, then woke up, then fell asleep again, then woke up again. Finally, Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and called out, “Prayer!” After that, the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out from his house. That scene is before my eyes: drops of water were dripping from the blessed head of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he had his hand placed on his head. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “If it were not difficult for my ummah, I would have commanded them to perform the ‘Isha prayer at this time.” (Ibn Jurayj narrates this hadith from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas through ‘Ata and says:) I further investigated from ‘Ata about the manner in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his hand on his head, and how Ibn Abbas informed him about this. Upon this, ‘Ata slightly spread the fingers of his hand and placed them on one side of his head, then joined them and moved them over his head in such a way that his thumb touched the edge of the ear that is close to the face and reached the beard. He did not do it lazily nor hastily, but did it in this manner, and said that then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “If it were not difficult for my ummah, I would have commanded them to perform this prayer at this time.”
