(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا
ثَابِتٌ ، أَنَّهُمْ سَأَلُوا
أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ : أَكَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمٌ ؟ فَقَالَ : نَعَمْ ، ثُمّ قَالَ : " أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى كَادَ يَذْهَبُ شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ ، فَقَالَ : إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلُّوا وَنَامُوا ، وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمْ الصَّلَاةَ ، قَالَ أَنَسٌ : وَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ ، وَرَفَعَ يَدَهُ الْيُسْرَى " .
Humaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a person asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) have a ring made?" He replied, "Yes! Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the Isha prayer until midnight and said, 'People have performed the prayer 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, and he raised his left hand."
