حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ هَانِىءٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَائِشَةَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ لَمْ تَكُنْ صَلَاةٌ أَحْرَى أَنْ يُؤَخِّرَهَا إِذَا كَانَ عَلَى حَدِيثٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَمَا صَلَّاهَا قَطُّ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيَّ إِلَّا صَلَّى بَعْدَهَا أَرْبَعًا أَوْ سِتًّا وَمَا رَأَيْتُهُ يَتَّقِي عَلَى الْأَرْضِ بِشَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا أَنِّي أَذْكُرُ أَنَّ يَوْمَ مَطَرٍ أَلْقَيْنَا تَحْتَهُ بَتًّا فَكَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى خَرْقٍ فِيهِ يَنْبُعُ مِنْهُ الْمَاءُ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ قَالَ بَتًّا يَعْنِي النِّطَعَ فَصَلَّى عَلَيْهِ فَلَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ.

Aisha was asked about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). She said: "There was no prayer he was more likely to delay, when he was engaged in conversation, than the Isha prayer. And he never prayed it and entered upon me without praying four or six rak'ahs after it. And I never saw him protect himself from the ground with anything, except that I remember on a rainy day we placed a mat (leather sheet) beneath him, and I could see a tear in it from which water was seeping."
