Musnad Abi Ya'la 1939 — one night the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ خَازِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ : خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، وَهُمْ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الْعِشَاءَ ، فَقَالَ : صَلَّى النَّاسُ وَرَقَدُوا وَأَنْتُمْ تَنْتَظِرُونَهَا ، أَمَا إِنَّكُمْ فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : لَوْلَا ضَعْفُ الضَّعِيفِ وَكِبَرُ الْكَبِيرِ لَأَخَّرْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that one night the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) while they were waiting for the Isha prayer, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The people have prayed and gone to sleep, while you, as long as you are waiting for this prayer, are as if you are in prayer." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) further said: "Were it not for the weakness of the weak and the old age of the elderly, I would certainly have delayed this prayer until the middle of the night."
