Hadith 12962

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ ، قَالَ : سُئِلَ أَنَسٌ هَلْ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى قُرْيبٍ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى ، أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ ، فَقَالَ : " النَّاسُ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا ، وَلَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا " ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ الْآنَ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ .
Humaid says that a person asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a ring made. He replied, "Yes! Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the Isha prayer until midnight, and after the prayer he turned towards us and said, 'People have prayed and gone to sleep, but as long as you waited for the prayer, you were counted as being in prayer.' At that time, the whiteness of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) ring is still before my eyes."
