Hadith 344
نا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، نا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ ، عَنِ الْحَكَمِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ نَنْتَظِرُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِصَلاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الآخِرَةِ ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ ، وَلا نَدْرِي أَيُّ شَيْءٍ شَغَلَهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ أَوْ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ ، فَقَالَ حِينَ خَرَجَ : " إِنَّكُمْ لَتَنْتَظِرُونَ صَلاةً مَا يَنْتَظِرُهَا أَهْلُ دِينٍ غَيْرُكُمْ ، وَلَوْلا أَنْ يَثْقُلَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَصَلَّيْتُ بِهِمْ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ " ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ الْمُؤَذِّنَ فَأَقَامَ الصَّلاةَ فَصَلَّى
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that we were waiting for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the ‘Isha prayer one night, when he came to us after a third of the night had passed. And we did not know what had kept him busy, whether it was something with his family or some other matter. When he came, he said: “Indeed, you are waiting for this prayer, and no followers of any other religion are waiting for it except you. And if I did not fear that it would be difficult for my Ummah, I would have led them (in this prayer) at this time.” Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the mu’adhdhin, so he gave the iqamah, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer.
