The Prophet ﷺ delayed the night prayer until midnight, then prayed and said, "The people have already prayed and gone to sleep, but you have been in prayer as long as you waited for it."In another narration, after he had prayed, he turned to us and said, "The people have prayed and gone to bed, but you have remained in prayer the whole time you were waiting for it."Anas said, "It is as if I can still see the gleam of his ring."
أخر النبي صلاة العشاء إلى نصف الليل، ثم صلى ثم قال: قد صلى الناس وناموا، أما إنكم في صلاة ما انتظر تموها. وفي رواية: ثم أقبل علينا بوجهه بعد ما صلى فقال: صلى الناس ورقدوا، ولم تزالوا في صلاة منذ انتظر تموها قال (أنس): فكأني أنظر إلى وبيض خاتمه.
