Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 349 — Virtue of Isha prayer

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that one night the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the 'Isha prayer, and this incident was before the spread of Islam. So, he (peace be upon him) did not come out until Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him and said, "The women and children have fallen asleep." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said, "Among the people of the earth, none are waiting for this prayer except you."
