Chapter: The Time Of The 'Isha' Prayer
Hadith 692
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ ، هَلِ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ الآخِرَةَ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا ، وَإِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُ الصَّلَاةَ " ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ .
´Humaid said:` "Anas bin Malik was asked: 'Did the Prophet wear a ring?' He said: 'Yes.' One night he delayed the 'Isha' prayer until almost the middle of the night. When he had prayed, he turned to face us and said: 'The people have prayed and gone to sleep, but you will still be in a state of prayer so long as you are waiting for the (next) prayer.'" (Sahih)Anas said: "It was as if I can see the sparkle from his ring.'"
