Musnad Abi Ya'la 1802 — he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، قَالَ : صَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَأَوْتَرَ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْقَابِلَةُ اجْتَمَعْنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَجَوْنَا أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَيْنَا ، فَلَمْ نَزَلْ فِيهِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْنَا ، ثُمَّ دَخَلْنَا ، فَقُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، اجْتَمَعْنَا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَرَجَوْنَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ بِنَا ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَوْ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ تُكْتَبَ عَلَيْكُمْ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in eight rak'ahs in the month of Ramadan and prayed the witr. When the next night came, we gathered in the mosque, hoping that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would come out to us (for the prayer), and we remained in the mosque (waiting) until morning came. Then we went to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! We gathered in the mosque, hoping that you would lead us in prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'I feared, or I disliked, that it (this prayer) would be made obligatory upon you.'"
