[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the prayer of the last Isha until near the middle of the night, then he came out and led them in prayer. He said, "You will continue to pray as long as you wait for it, if it were not for the hardship on the old and the weakness of the weak." He said, "I thought that the one with need would delay this prayer until the middle of the night, and so it is."  

أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ وَقَالَ إِنَّكُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُوهَا وَلَوْلَا كِبَرُ الْكَبِيرِ وَضَعْفُ الضَّعِيفِ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ وَذُو الْحَاجَةِ لَأَخَّرْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ إِلَى شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ وَكَذَلِكَ
