عن عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: «أعتم النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - بالعشاء. فخرج عمر، فقال: الصلاة، يا رسول الله. رقد النساء والصبيان. فخرج ورأسه يقطر يقول: لولا أن أشق على أمتي - أو على الناس - لأمرتهم بهذه الصلاة هذه الساعة».
Narrated 'Ata: One night the Prophet (ﷺ) delayed the `Isha' prayer whereupon `Umar went to him and said, "The prayer, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! The women and children had slept." The Prophet (ﷺ) came out with water dropping from his head, and said, "Were I not afraid that it would be hard for my followers (or for the people), I would order them to pray `Isha prayer at this time." (Various versions of this Hadith are given by the narrators with slight differences in expression but not in content).
