وَأنبأ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بِشْرَانَ الْعَدْلُ بِبَغْدَادَ، ثنا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُكْرَمٍ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ، ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُكَيْرٍ، ثنا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ يُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَصَلَّى رِجَالٌ يُصَلُّونَ بِصَلَاتِهِ، فَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ فَتَحَدَّثُوا بِذَلِكَ، فَاجْتَمَعَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُمْ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ اللَّيْلَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّوْا مَعَهُ فَتَحَدَّثُوا بِذَلِكَ فَكَثُرَ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلَاتِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الرَّابِعَةُ عَجَزَ الْمَسْجِدُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَطَفِقَ رِجَالٌ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُونَ: الصَّلَاةَ، فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى خَرَجَ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَتَشَهَّدَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " أَمَا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيَّ شَأْنُكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ، وَلَكِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ تُفْرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَتَعْجَزُوا عَنْهَا " وَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُرَغِّبُهُمْ فِي قِيَامِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَأْمُرَهُمْ بِعَزِيمَةِ أَمْرٍ فِيهِ، فَيَقُولُ: " مَنْ قَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا، وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ " فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ كَانَ الْأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ خِلَافَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَصَدْرًا مِنْ خِلَافَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا ".
Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out one night to the mosque to pray, and many people prayed together with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In the morning the people talked among themselves about it, so on the second night even more people gathered. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also came out on the second night and prayed, and the people prayed with him (peace and blessings be upon him). In the morning the people talked about it. On the third night there was a crowd. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out and the people prayed with him (peace and blessings be upon him). On the fourth night the people could not fit into the mosque, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come out. The people began calling out, saying: The prayer! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not come out; then he came out for the morning prayer. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed the prayer, he turned towards the people and said: "Your state last night was not hidden from me, but I feared that it might be made obligatory upon you and you would be unable to do it." He (peace and blessings be upon him) would only encourage the night prayer of Ramadan; he did not command it. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever stands in prayer in Ramadan in a state of faith, seeking the reward, his past sins will be forgiven."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away and the matter remained like this; then it also remained like this in the period of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and the early period of Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him).
