Hadith 3:967
Hussain bin Ali narrated to us, from Za'idah, from Mansur, from al-Hakam, from Nafi', from Ibn Umar, who said: We waited one night for the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant him peace) for the final night prayer (Isha) until it was a third of the night, or after that. Then he came out to us, and I do not know if something occupied him or a need he had regarding his family. He said: "I do not know of any people of a religion who wait for this prayer other than you. And were it not that it would be difficult for my nation, I would have prayed this prayer with them at this hour."
حدثنا حسين بن علي عن زائدة عن منصور عن الحكم عن نافع عن بن عمر قال انتظرنا ليلة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لصلاة العشاء الآخرة حتى كان ثلث الليل أو بعد ثم خرج إلينا فلا أدري أشغله شيء وحاجة كانت له في أهله فقال ما أعلم أهل دين ينتظرون هذه الصلاة غيركم ولولا أن إشق على أمتي لصليت بهم هذه الصلاة هذه الساعة
