'A'isha. the wife of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) deferred one night the 'Isha' prayer. And this is called 'Atama. And the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not come out till Umar bin Khattab told (him) that the women and children had gone to sleep. So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out towards them and said to the people of the mosque: None except you from the people of the earth waits for it (for the night prayer at this late hour), and it was before Islam had spread amongst people. And in the narration transmitted by Ibn Shihab the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is reported to have said: It is not meant that you should compel the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for prayer. And (this he said) when 'Umar bin Khattab called (the Holy Prophet) in a loud voice.
Hadith 638
'A'isha reported: The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) one night delayed (observing the 'Isha' prayer) till a great part of the night was over and the people in the mosque had gone to sleep. He (the Holy Prophet) then came out and observed prayer and said: This is the proper time for it; were it not that I would impose a burden on my people (I would normally pray at this time). In the hadith transmitters by 'Abdul Razzaq (the words are): "Were it not that it would impose burden on my people."
Hadith 645

'Urwa reported 'A'isha to be saying: I have never seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observing the supererogatory prayer of the forenoon, but I observed it.
