Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: نَزَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِي رَمَضَانَ، وَصَلَّى خَلْفَهُ نَاسٌ بِصَلَاتِهِ، ثُمَّ نَزَلَ اللَّيْلَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ، فَكَانُوا أَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ، ثُمَّ كَثُرُوا فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الرَّابِعَةُ، غَصَّ الْمَسْجِدُ بِأَهْلِهِ، فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالُوا فِي ذَلِكَ: مَا شَأْنُ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ؟ فَسَمِعَ مَقَالَتَهُمْ، (١) فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ، قَالَ: " يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، إِنِّي قَدْ سَمِعْتُ مَقَالَتَكُمْ، وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي أَنْ أَنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ إِلَّا مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ قِيَامُ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) went out of his house during the night in Ramadan and began to pray in the mosque. People gathered and joined the Prophet (ﷺ) in prayer. On the next night, more people gathered than before. The same happened on the third day. On the fourth day, so many people gathered that there was no room left in the mosque for anyone else to enter, but that day the Prophet (ﷺ) remained seated at home and did not come out. I even heard some people saying, "Prayer, prayer," but the Prophet (ﷺ) did not come out. Then, when morning came, he said, "Your condition tonight was not hidden from me, but I feared that this prayer might become obligatory upon you and then you would be unable to perform it."
