[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed one night in the mosque during the month of Ramadan, and there were people with him. Then he prayed a second prayer, and more people gathered that night than the first. When the third or fourth prayer approached, the mosque became full until it was crowded with its people. The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , did not come out to them, so the people began calling him for prayer, but he did not come out. When morning came, Umar ibn al-Khattab said to him, "The people were waiting for you last night, O Messenger of Allah!" He said, "It was not that their matter escaped me, but I feared that it would be made obligatory for them."  

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَمَعَهُ نَاسٌ ثُمَّ صَلَّى الثَّانِيَةَ فَاجْتَمَعَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ أَكْثَرُ مِنَ الْأُولَى فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ أَوِ الرَّابِعَةُ امْتَلَأَ الْمَسْجِدُ حَتَّىاغْتَصَّ بِأَهْلِهِ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ إِلَيْهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يُنَادُونَهُ الصَّلَاةَ فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ لَهُ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ مَا زَالَ النَّاسُ يَنْتَظِرُونَكَ الْبَارِحَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيَّ أَمْرُهُمْ وَلَكِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ تُكْتَبَ عَلَيْهِمْ
