AHMAD 21419:
from Abū Dhar —
[Machine] We fasted with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during Ramadan and he did not perform night prayers with us until it was the night of the twenty-fourth. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer until almost one-third of the night had passed. Then, on the following night, he did not perform night prayers with us. But on the night of the twenty-sixth, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in prayer until almost half of the night had passed. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if you could only voluntarily pray with us for the rest of this night." He said, "No, for if a man prays with the imam until he finishes, it is counted as the whole night for him." Then, on the following night, he did not perform night prayers with us. But when it was the night of the twenty-eight, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ gathered his family and the people gathered for him, and he led us in prayer until we almost missed the pre-dawn meal. I asked, "What is the pre-dawn meal?" He said, "Suhoor (the meal before dawn prayer)." Then, after that night, he did not perform night prayers with us, O son of my brother, for the remainder of the month.

صُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا شَيْئًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ أَرْبَعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ قَامَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا فَلَمَّا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ سِتٍّ وَعِشْرِينَ قَامَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَوْ نَفَّلْتَنَا بَقِيَّةَ لَيْلَتِنَا هَذِهِ قَالَ لَا إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا قَامَ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ حُسِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي تَلِيهَا لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا فَلَمَّا أَنْ كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ ثَمَانٍ وَعِشْرِينَ جَمَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَهْلَهُ وَاجْتَمَعَ لَهُ النَّاسُفَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى كَادَ يَفُوتُنَا الْفَلَاحُ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْفَلَاحُ؟ قَالَ السُّحُورُ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا يَا ابْنَ أَخِي شَيْئًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ
