Kharashah bin al-Hurr said: Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to beat people for chatting after Isha, and he would say: "Whoever engages in storytelling at the beginning of the night will sleep through the last part of the night."

Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade sleeping before Isha and talking after Isha.
