Hadith 6097

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ ، حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً الْعِشَاءَ حَتَّى رَقَدْنَا ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظْنَا ، ثُمَّ رَقَدْنَا ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظْنَا ، وَإِنَّمَا حَبَسَنَا لِوَفْدٍ جَاءَهُ ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ غَيْرُكُمْ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the Isha prayer so much that we slept and woke up three times in the mosque. In fact, a delegation had come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and said: "At this time, there is no one on the face of the earth waiting for prayer except you."
