It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not let the Bedouins prevail over you regarding the name of your prayer; in the Book of Allah it (the prayer) is Isha. The Bedouins named it 'Atamah only because (at that time) they used to milk their camels."
