Musnad Abi Ya'la 3859 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one night
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ ، فَسَمِعَ النَّاسُ صَوْتَهُ ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ جَاءَ نَاسٌ فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلَاتِهِ ، فَخَفَّفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، صَلَّيْنَا مَعَكَ اللَّيْلَةَ ، وَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَمُدَّ فِي قِرَاءَتِكَ ، فَقَالَ : قَدْ عَلِمْتُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ وَعَمْدًا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed one night in his chamber, and the people heard his blessed voice. Then, when the second night came, some people came and began praying behind him, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) shortened the prayer and then finished it. When morning came, those people said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Last night we prayed with you, and we wished that you had lengthened your recitation." At this he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I knew that you were there, and I did that deliberately."
