Sub-Chapter (Baab)

Sahih Al Bukhari 569

Imām Bukhārī narrates: Ayyūb ibn Sulaimān narrated to us, he said: Abū Bakr narrated to us, from Sulaimān, he said that Sālih ibn Kaisān said: Ibn Shihāb informed me, from 'Urwah, from 'Ā'ishah, may Allāh be pleased with her, she narrated that:

(one night) the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ delayed the 'Ishā' prayer, until 'Umar, may Allāh be pleased with him, said in a loud voice: Prayer (come out)! The women and children have fallen asleep. Then he came out and said: No one else upon the whole face of the earth besides you is waiting for this prayer. And in those days, prayer was not performed anywhere except Madīnah. And he used to delay the prayer, after the disappearance of the (whiteness of the) twilight, until the first part of a third of the night.

حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ صَالِحُ بْنُ كَيْسَانَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَعْتَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بِالْعِشَاءِ حَتَّى نَادَاهُ عُمَرُ الصَّلاَةَ، نَامَ النِّسَاءُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ‏.‏ فَخَرَجَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا يَنْتَظِرُهَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ غَيْرُكُمْ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَلاَ يُصَلَّى يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلاَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، وَكَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَغِيبَ الشَّفَقُ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الأَوَّلِ‏.‏
