باب: آخر وقت العشاء وفيه قولان أحدهما ثلث الليل، والآخر نصفه فمن قال: بالأول احتج بما
Chapter: The end of the time of Isha; there are two views, one a third of the night and the other half of it, and the evidence of those who held the first
Bayhaqi 1749 — The end of the time of Isha; there are two views, one
ب وَفِيهِ قَوْلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ، وَالْآخَرُ نِصْفُهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ: بِالْأَوَّلِ احْتَجَّ بِمَا.
And there are two views on this: the first is a third of the night, and the second is half of the night. So whoever adopted the first view argued from the following.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي أنا حَاجِبُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ الطُّوسِيُّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ هَاشِمٍ ثنا وَكِيعٌ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ حَكِيمِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَمَّنِي جِبْرِيلُ عِنْدَ الْبَيْتِ مَرَّتَيْنِ " فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ وَصَلَّى بِيَ الْعِشَاءَ ثُلُثَ اللَّيْلِ الْأَوَّلَ يَعْنِي فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْآخِرَةِ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) led me in prayer twice at the House (of Allah)," and he mentioned the hadith. In it is: "He led me in the Isha prayer in the first third of the night," meaning the second time.
