ذِكْرُ الْإِبَاحَةِ لِلْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَشْتَغِلَ بِحَوَائِجِ بَعْضِ رَعِيَّتِهِ، وَإِنْ أَدَّاهُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى تَأْخِيرِ الصَّلَاةِ عَنْ أَوَّلِ وَقْتِهَا

[Machine] The Isha prayer was established, and then a man stood up to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have a need to discuss with you." So he took him aside until some people or some of the people fell asleep. Then he stood up and prayed, so they prayed without mentioning that they performed ablution.  

ابن حبّان:٤٥٤٤أَخْبَرَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

أُقِيمَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً فَقَامَ بِنَاحِيَةٍ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ «ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلُّوا وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ أَنَّهُمْ تَوَضَّؤُوا»

[Machine] The passage translates to English as:

"The Hereafter appeared to have a pleasant night. A man stood up and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I have a need to discuss with you.' So, the Prophet stood up with him and they conversed until the people fell asleep, or some of the people said. Then, he prayed without mentioning ablution."  

أحمد:١٢٦٣٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كَامِلٍ وَعَفَّانُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ قَالَ عَفَّانُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ أُقِيمَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ قَالَ

عَفَّانُ الْآخِرَةُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ لِيإِلَيْكَ حَاجَةً فَقَامَ مَعَهُ يُنَاجِيهِ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ قَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وُضُوءًا
