[Machine] His father asked him, "How did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray the obligatory prayers?" He said, "He used to pray the Maghrib prayer first." He said, "And he used to prefer delaying the Isha prayer which you call darkness." He said, "And he disliked sleeping before it and talking after it, in brief."  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٥٢٤أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ عَنْ عَوْفٍ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلَامَةَ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي عَلَى أَبِي بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ فَقَالَ

لَهُ أَبِي كَيْفَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي الْمَكْتُوبَةَ؟ قَالَ «كَانَ يُصَلِّي الْهَجِيرَ» إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الَّتِي تَدْعُونَهَا الْعَتَمَةَ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَكْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا مُخْتَصَرٌ
