Al-Mu'jam al-Awsat 1043 — one night in the month of Ramadan
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ ، قَالَ : نَا أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَعْقِلِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ . عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ- خَرَجَ لَيْلَةً فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَصَلَّى رِجَالٌ وَرَاءَهُ بِصَلَاتِهِ ، وَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ ، فَتَحَدَّثُوا بِذَلِكَ ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّالِثَةُ لَمْ يَخْرُجْ ، فَصَاحَ النَّاسُ ، وَقَرَعُوا بَابَهُ ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ ، قَالَ : إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيَّ مَكَانُكُمْ ، وَلَكِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ يُفْرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ ، فَلَا تَقُومُوا بِهِ .
It is narrated from the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that one night in the month of Ramadan the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out (of his house) and prayed in the mosque, and some men prayed behind him (peace and blessings be upon him), following him (peace and blessings be upon him) in prayer. In the morning the people spoke about it, until when the second night came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) came out again and prayed in the mosque. Then when the third night came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come out, so the people raised their voices and knocked on his (peace and blessings be upon him) door, but he (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come out. When morning came, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your presence (there) was not hidden from me, but I feared that it might be made obligatory upon you, so do not perform this (night prayer) (in congregation)."
