Hadith 19800

حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلَامَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ يُؤَخِّرُ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ، وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا ، وَكَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْفَجْرِ مَا بَيْنَ المِئَةِ إِلَى السِّتِّينَ ، وَكَانَ يَنْصَرِفُ حِينَ يَنْصَرِفُ وَبَعْضُنَا يَعْرِفُ وَجْهَ بَعْضٍ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Barzah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to delay the Isha prayer until a third of the night had passed, and he did not like sleeping before it or talking after it. And after offering the Fajr prayer, he would finish at a time when we could recognize the person sitting next to us, and he would recite between sixty to a hundred verses in it.
