Hadith of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA)
حديث أبي موسى الأشعري
Hadith 243:79
On the authority of Abu Musa, he said: I and my companions who arrived with me on the ship were staying in Baqi' Buthan, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was in Medina. A group of them would take turns with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at the time of the Isha prayer every night. Abu Musa said: We encountered the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)—I and my companions—while he was occupied with some of his affairs, so he delayed the prayer until the night had deepened. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out. When he finished his prayer, he said to those who were present: "Take your time. Rejoice, for it is among the blessings of Allah upon you that there is no one among the people who prays this prayer except you," or he said, "No one has prayed at this hour except you"—he did not know which of the two phrases he said. Abu Musa said: So we returned happy because of what we heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).
وعن أبي موسى قال * كنت أنا وأصحابي الذين قدموا معي في السفينة نزولا في بقيع بطحان ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بالمدينة فكان يتناوب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم عند صلاة العشاء كل ليلة نفر منهم قال أبو موسى فوافقنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أنا وأصحابي وله بعض الشغل في بعض أمره فأعتم بالصلاة حتى ابهار الليل حتى خرج رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فلما قضى صلاته قال لمن حضره على رسلكم أبشروا إن من نعمة الله عليكم أنه ليس من أحد من الناس يصلي هذه الصلاة غيركم أو قال ما صلى هذه الساعة أحد غيركم لا يدري أي الكلمتين قال قال أبو موسى فرجعنا فرحين بما سمعنا من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
