Ḥadīth | Ṭabarānī (الطبراني) tabarani:11391 حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يَزِيدَ الْقَرَاطِيسِيُّ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ وَابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَخَرَجَ عُمَرُ فَنَادَاهُ الصَّلَاةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَقَدَ النِّسَاءُ وَالْوَالِدَانُ فَخَرَجَ وَالْمَاءُ يَقْطُرُ مِنْ شِقِّهِ وَهُوَ يَمْسَحُ الْمَاءَ عَنْ شِقِّهِ وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ الْوَقْتُ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي»
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) delayed the prayer one night until much of the night had passed. Then Umar came out and called: 'The prayer, O Messenger of Allah! The women and children have gone to sleep.' He came out with water dripping from the side of his head, wiping it away, and said: 'This is indeed the time, were it not that I would make it difficult for my Ummah.'
