English translation
1373. It was reported from 'Urwah bin Az-Zubaiir, from 'Āishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ that the Prophet ﷺ once prayed in the Masjid, and the people prayed behind him, following him in his prayer. Then he prayed the next night, and the number of people increased. Then they gathered together on the third night, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not come out to them. When morning came, he (ﷺ) said: 'I saw what you had done, and the only reason I did not come out to you is that I feared that it would become obligatory upon you.' And this occurred in Ramaḍān." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
