حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ،، ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ: كَانَ النَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ فِي مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي رَمَضَانَ بِاللَّيْلِ أَوْزَاعًا، يَكُونُ مَعَ الرَّجُلِ الشَّيْءُ (١) مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ، فَيَكُونُ مَعَهُ النَّفَرُ الْخَمْسَةُ أَوِ السِّتَّةُ أَوْ أَقَلُّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ أَكْثَرُ، يُصَلُّونَ (٢) بِصَلَاتِهِ، قَالَتْ: فَأَمَرَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ أَنْصِبَ لَهُ حَصِيرًا عَلَى بَابِ حُجْرَتِي، فَفَعَلْتُ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَ أَنْ صَلَّى الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ، قَالَتْ: فَاجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ مَنْ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلًا طَوِيلًا، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَدَخَلَ، وَتَرَكَ (٣) الْحَصِيرَ عَلَى حَالِهِ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ تَحَدَّثُوا بِصَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ، قَالَتْ: وَأَمْسَى الْمَسْجِدُ رَاجًّا بِالنَّاسِ، فَصَلَّى بِهِمْ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ بَيْتَهُ وَثَبَتَ النَّاسُ، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " مَا شَأْنُ النَّاسِ يَا عَائِشَةُ؟ " قَالَتْ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ سَمِعَ النَّاسُ بِصَلَاتِكَ الْبَارِحَةَ بِمَنْ كَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَحَشَدُوا لِذَلِكَ لِتُصَلِّيَ بِهِمْ، قَالَتْ: فَقَالَ: " اطْوِ عَنَّا حَصِيرَكِ يَا عَائِشَةُ " قَالَتْ: فَفَعَلْتُ. وَبَاتَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرَ غَافِلٍ، وَثَبَتَ النَّاسُ مَكَانَهُمْ حَتَّى خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الصُّبْحِ،، ، فَقَالَتْ: فَقَالَ: " أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ، أَمَا وَاللهِ مَا بِتُّ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ غَافِلًا، وَمَا خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ مَكَانُكُمْ، وَلَكِنِّي تَخَوَّفْتُ أَنْ يُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ فَاكْلَفُوا مِنَ الْأَعْمَالِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَمَلُّ حَتَّى تَمَلُّوا " قَالَ: وَكَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ تَقُولُ: " إِنَّ أَحَبَّ الْأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللهِ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ " (١)،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that during the blessed month of Ramadan, people used to pray in the Prophet’s Mosque at night in different groups. Whoever knew a little bit of the Qur’an, about six people would stand with him and pray with him. One day, the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered me to spread a mat at the door of the chamber, so I did so. After the ‘Isha prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) came out of the house in the middle of the night and started praying in the mosque. People gathered and joined the Prophet (ﷺ) in prayer. In the morning, people mentioned to each other that the Prophet (ﷺ) had come out of his house at midnight and prayed in the mosque. So, the next night, more people gathered than before. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out as usual and started praying, and people joined him. The same happened on the third night. On the fourth night, so many people gathered that there was no room left in the mosque for anyone else to come, but that night the Prophet (ﷺ) remained in the house and did not come out, until I heard some people saying, “Prayer! Prayer!” But the Prophet (ﷺ) did not come out. Then, when he led the Fajr prayer, after finishing the prayer he stood among the people, testified to the Oneness of Allah and the Messengership, and after saying “Amma ba’du” 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. Therefore, do as much as you are able, for Allah will not tire, but you will surely tire.”
