bayhaqi:8538Abū ʿAlī al-Rūdhbārī > Abū Muḥammad b. Bakr > Abū Dāwud > Aḥmad b. Yūnus > Zuhayr > Muḥammad b. Isḥāq > Muḥammad b. Ibrāhīm > Ibn ʿAbdullāh b. Unays al-Juhanī from his father

I said to the Messenger of Allah: I have a place in the desert where I live and in which I pray, with the praise of Allah; but give me command about a night when I come to this mosque. He replied: Come on the twenty third night. I (a sub-narrator, Muhammad ibn Ibrahim) said to his (Abdullah ibn Unays's) son: How would your father act? He replied: He used to enter the mosque when he had offered the afternoon prayer, and did not leave it for any purpose till he prayed the morning prayer. Then when he had prayed the morning prayer, he found his riding beast at the door of the mosque, mounted it and got back to his desert. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1380)   

البيهقي:٨٥٣٨وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ ثنا زُهَيْرٌ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِي بَادِيَةً أَكُونُ فِيهَا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فِيهَا بِحَمْدِ اللهِ فَمُرْنِي بِلَيْلَةٍ أَنْزِلُهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ انْزِلْ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِهِ فَكَيْفَ كَانَ أَبُوكَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ كَانَ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ فَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ لِحَاجَةٍ حَتَّى يصَلِّيَ الصُّبْحَ فَإِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَجَدَ دَابَّتَهِ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَحِقَ بِبَادِيَتِهِ
