أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ بِبَغْدَادَ أنبأ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ دُرُسْتُوَيْهِ ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثنا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ثنا حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الرَّحَبِيُّ عَنْ رَاشِدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ السَّكُونِيُّ صَاحِبُ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ، عَنْ مُعَاذٍ قَالَ: بَقِيَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِصَلَاةِ الْعَتَمَةِ لَيْلَةً فَتَأَخَّرَ بِهَا حَتَّى ظَنَّ الظَّانُّ أَنْ قَدْ صَلَّى أَوْ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ خَرَجَ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ لَقَدْ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّكَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَوْ لَسْتَ بِخَارِجٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " أَعْتِمُوا بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ فُضِّلْتُمْ بِهَا عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَكُمْ ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that one night we were waiting for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for the Isha prayer.
He (peace and blessings be upon him) was delayed, so much so that some people thought that perhaps he had already prayed or that he would not come out now. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out, and a man said: O Prophet of Allah! We had come to think that you must have already offered the prayer, or that you (peace and blessings be upon him) would not come out today. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer this prayer late, for you have been given superiority over the previous nations because of this prayer, and no nation before you offered this prayer."
