بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي الْعَتَمَةِ وَالصُّبْحِChapter on what is reported regarding the night and morning prayers
Hadith 293
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ فَقَدَ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ فِي صَلاةِ الصُّبْحِ ، وَأَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ غَدَا إلَى السُّوقِ ، وَمَسْكَنُ سُلَيْمَانَ بَيْنَ السُّوقِ وَالْمَسْجِدِ النَّبَوِيِّ فَمَرَّ عَلَى الشِّفَاءِ أُمِّ سُلَيْمَانَ ، فَقَالَ لَهَا : " لَمْ أَرَ سُلَيْمَانَ فِي الصُّبْحِ " ، فَقَالَتْ : إِنَّهُ بَاتَ يُصَلِّي فَغَلَبَتْهُ عَيْنَاهُ ، فَقَالَ عُمَرُ : " لَأَنْ أَشْهَدَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ فِي الْجَمَاعَةِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَقُومَ لَيْلَةً "
It is narrated from Abu Bakr bin Sulaiman bin Abi Hathma that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, did not find Sulaiman bin Abi Hathma in the morning prayer. Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, went to the market, and Sulaiman's house was between the market and the mosque. He met Sulaiman's mother, Shifa, so Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said to Shifa, "I did not see Sulaiman in the morning prayer?" Shifa said, "He was praying at night, so he fell asleep." Then Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Indeed, for me to be present at the morning prayer is more beloved than worshipping at night."
