Sahih Muslim Hadith 1451 – The Time Of ‘Ishâ’

English

[1451] 224 – (641) It was narrated that Abü Müsâ said: "My companions and I – who came with me in the ship – were staying in the valley of Buthân, and the Messenger of Allah was in Al-Madinah. Every night it would be the turn of a group of them to go to the Messenger of Allahii at the time of 'Ishâ' prayer." Abü Müsâ said: "My companions and I went to the Messenger of Allah jK, but something kept him busy until he prayed while it was very dark, almost halfway through the night. Then the Messenger of Allah came out and led them in prayer, and when he had finished his prayer he said to those who were present: 'Wait! I will tell you something and give you glad tidings. It is Allah's blessing to you that no one else among the people is praying at this hour except you." Abü Müsâ said: "We went back rejoicing at what we had heard from the Messenger of Allah ."
