Volume 1, Book 10, Number 541:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
Allah’s Apostle once delayed the ‘Isha’ prayer and that was during the days when Islam still had
not spread. The Prophet did not come out till ‘Umar informed him that the women and children had
slept. Then he came out and said to the people of the mosque:”None amongst the dwellers of the
earth has been waiting for it (‘Isha prayer) except you.”
