حَدَّثنا أحمد بن عَبدة قال أَخْبَرَنَا سُفيان يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُيَيْنة عَنْ عَمْرو بْنِ دِينار عَن عَطَاءٍ وَابن جُرَيج عَن عَطَاءٍ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِي اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم أَخَّرَ صَلاةَ الْعِشَاءِ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ عُمَر رَقَدَ النِّسَاءُ وَالْوِلْدَانُ فَخَرَجَ وهُو يَقُولُ لَوْلا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لأَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَوَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وعَن غَيْرِهِ بِأَلْفَاظٍ مُخْتَلِفَةٍ فَذَكَرْنَا كُلَّ حَدِيثٍ مِنْهَا فِي مَوْضِعِهِ بِلَفْظِهِ
English Translation
Ahmad ibn Abdah narrated to us, he said: Sufyan ibn Uyaynah informed us, from Amr ibn Dinar, from Ata — and Ibn Jurayj from Ata — both from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be well pleased with them both), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) delayed the Isha prayer until as much of the night passed as Allah willed. Umar said to him: 'The women and children have fallen asleep.' So he came out saying: «Were it not that I would cause hardship to my ummah, I would have commanded them to pray at this hour.» This hadith has been narrated from Ibn Abbas and from others with different wordings; we mentioned each hadith in its place with its wording.
