[Machine] One night, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the prayer until the night was almost over. Umar went out and called him to the prayer, saying, "O Messenger of Allah, the women and parents have gone to sleep." So, he went out and water was dripping from his beard, while he wiped the water off his beard and said, "It is time, if it were not difficult for my Ummah."

أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ فَنَادَاهُ الصَّلَاةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَقَدَ النِّسَاءُ وَالْوَالِدَانُ فَخَرَجَ وَالْمَاءُ يَقْطُرُ مِنْ شِقِّهِ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ الْمَاءَ عَنْ شِقِّهِ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ الْوَقْتُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي»
