Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 8292 — Those who disliked calling the Isha
٨٢٩٢ - حدثنا وكيع قال: ثنا ابن أبي رواد عن رجل لم يسمه عن (عبد الرحمن) (١) بن عوف قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "لا تغلبنكم الأعراب على اسم صلاتكم العشاء، فإنما هي في كتاب اللَّه العشاء، وإنما يعتم بحلاب الإبل" (٢).
Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not let the Bedouins prevail over you regarding the names of your prayers. The name of this prayer in the Book of Allah is Isha. It is called 'Atamah' because at that time (after the twilight has disappeared) the Bedouins milk their camels."
