باب مَا يُسْتَحَبُّ مِنْ تَأْخِيرِ الْعِشَاءِ:Chapter: Recommendation to Delay Isha
Hadith 1246
أَخْبَرَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مِنْهَالٍ، وَعَمْرُو بْنُ عَاصِمٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ بَهْدَلَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: "أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ قَرِيبُهُ، فَجَاءَ وَفِي النَّاسُ رُقَّدٌ، وَهُمْ عِزُونَ، وَهُمْ حِلَقٌ، فَغَضِبَ، فَقَالَ: "لَوْ أَنَّ رَجُلًا نَدَى النَّاسَ وَقَالَ عَمْرٌو: نَدَبَ النَّاسَ إِلَى عَرْقٍ أَوْ مِرْمَاتَيْنِ، لَأَجَابُوا إِلَيْهِ، وَهُمْ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ، لَهَمَمْتُ أَنْ آمُرَ رَجُلًا لِيُصَلِّيَ بِالنَّاسِ، ثُمَّ أَتَخَلَّفَ عَلَى أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الدُّورِ الَّذِينَ يَتَخَلَّفُونَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ، فَأُضْرِمَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِالنِّيرَانِ".
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that one night the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the ‘Isha prayer so much that about one third of the night had passed. Then he came out while the worshippers were sitting in groups and circles, dozing off. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), being displeased, said: “If a man were to call people for a bone or two hooves (as food), they would rush to it, but they lag behind from this prayer (‘Isha prayer). I have intended to tell someone to lead the prayer, then I would go to the houses of those who stay behind from the (congregational) prayer and set fire to their houses.”
