Sahih al-Bukhari 555 (Book 9, Hadith 44)
The Prophet (ﷺ) was in Medina at that time. One of us used to go to the Prophet (ﷺ) by turns every night at
the time of the `Isha prayer. Once I along with my companions went to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he was busy in
some of his affairs, so the `Isha’ prayer was delayed to the middle of the night He then came out and
led the people (in prayer). After finishing from the prayer, he addressed the people present there
saying, “Be patient! Don’t go away. Have the glad tiding. It is from the blessing of Allah upon you
that none amongst mankind has prayed at this time save you.” Or said, “None except you has prayed
at this time.” Abu Musa added, ‘So we returned happily after what we heard from Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) .”
