Sahih Muslim Hadith 1446 – The Time Of ‘Ishâ’

English

[1446] 220 – (639) It was narrated that 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar said: "One night we remained waiting for the Messenger of Allahij to pray 'Ishâ', and he came out to us when one-third or more of the night had passed. We did not know if some family matter had detained him or something else. When he came out, he said: 'You are waiting for a prayer for which the people of no other religion are waiting. Were it not that it would be too burdensome for my Ummah, I would have prayed it with you at this hour.' Then he told the Mu'adhdhin to call the Iqâmah, and he prayed."
