Bayhaqi 5241 — The follower praying in the mosque, on its roof

وَأَخْبَرَنَا بِحَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْفَقِيهُ، أنبأ أَبُو طَاهِرٍ الْمُحَمَّدَآبَاذِيُّ، أنبأ ⦗١٥٧⦘ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ السَّعْدِيُّ، أنبأ يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أنبأ حُمَيْدٌ الطَّوِيلُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ " أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي حُجْرَتِهِ فَأَتَاهُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ فَصَلُّوا بِصَلَاتِهِ، فَخَفَّفَ فَدَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفُ وَيَدْخُلُ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَلَّيْنَا مَعَكَ الْبَارِحَةَ وَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ أَنْ تَمُدَّ فِي صَلَاتِكَ، فَقَالَ: " قَدْ عَلِمْتُ بِمَكَانِكُمْ، عَمْدًا فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ ".
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the night prayer in his room. Some people from among the Companions began to pray along with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) shortened the prayer and went into the house. Then he came out, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) did this several times: he (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray and then leave. In the morning the people said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! We prayed with you (peace and blessings be upon him) last night, and we wish that you (peace and blessings be upon him) would lengthen the prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I knew that you were there, but I did that deliberately."
