[Machine] We trailed behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the Isha prayer and he remained in seclusion until we thought he would not come out. The saying among us was that he had prayed and would not come out. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out, so we said, "O Messenger of Allah, we thought that you would not come out, and the one among us who said so claimed that you had prayed and would not come out." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Adhere to this prayer, for it has been given superiority over the prayers of all the nations that were before you."  

رَقَبْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ فَاحْتَبَسَ حَتَّى ظَنَنَّا أَنْ لَنْ يَخْرُجَ وَالْقَائِلُ مِنَّا يَقُولُ قَدْ صَلَّى وَلَنْ يَخْرُجَ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّكَ لَنْ تَخْرُجَ وَالْقَائِلُ مِنَّا يَقُولُ قَدْ صَلَّى وَلَنْ يَخْرُجَ فَقَالَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَعْتِمُوا بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ؛ فَقَدْ فُضِّلْتُمْ بِهَا عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ وَلَمْ تُصَلِّهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَكُمْ  

[Machine] "We came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the night prayer of 'Isha', and he delayed it until the people thought that he had already prayed and left. Then he came out and someone said to him, 'O Messenger of Allah, I thought you had prayed and did not see you leave.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Perform this prayer, for you have been given precedence over the previous nations by it, and no one before you has observed it.'"  

أَتَيْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ لَيْلَةً فَأَخَّرَ بِهَا حَتَّى ظَنَّ الظَّانُّ أَنْ قَدْ صَلَّى وَلَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ خَرَجَ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَقَدْ ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّكَ صَلَّيْتَ وَلَسْتَ بِخَارِجٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَعْتِمُوا بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ فُضِّلْتُمْ بِهَا عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلَكُمْ»  

[Machine] We stayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for the night prayer until he delayed it to the extent that people thought he had already prayed or that he would not come out. Then he came out and someone said to him, "O Prophet of Allah, we thought that you had already prayed or that you would not come out." The Prophet ﷺ said to us, "Perform this prayer. Indeed, you have been favored with it over the other nations, and no previous nation has performed it."  

بَقِيَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِصَلَاةِ الْعَتَمَةِ لَيْلَةً فَتَأَخَّرَ بِهَا حَتَّى ظَنَّ الظَّانُّ أَنْ قَدْ صَلَّى أَوْ لَيْسَ بِخَارِجٍ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ خَرَجَ بَعْدُ فَقَالَ لَهُ قَائِلٌ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ لَقَدْ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّكَ قَدْ صَلَّيْتَ يَا نَبِيَّ اللهِ أَوْ لَسْتَ بِخَارِجٍ فَقَالَ لَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَعْتِمُوا بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ فُضِّلْتُمْ بِهَا عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّهَا أُمَّةٌ قَبْلَكُمْ
