(The people) stood up for the night prayer when a man spoke forth: I need to say something. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ entered into secret conversation with him, till the people dozed off or some of the people (dozed off), and then they said the prayer.
رَجُلٌ لِي حَاجَةٌ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُنَاجِيهِ حَتَّى نَامَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّوْا
(The people) stood up for the night prayer and a man stood up and spoke forth: Messenger of Allah, I have to say something to you. He (the Prophet) entered into secret conversation with him, till the people or some of the people dozed off, ad then he led them in prayer. He (Thabit al-Bunani) did not mention ablution.
يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً فَقَامَ يُنَاجِيهِ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وُضُوءًا
[Machine] The prayer for the last evening was established on a night, and a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have a need." So he stood up and conversed with him until some of the people or some of them fell asleep, then he prayed and did not mention ablution.
أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ لِلْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِي حَاجَةٌ فَقَامَ يُنَاجِيهِ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وُضُوءًا
