1375. Al-Walid bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān narrated from Jubair bin Nufair, from Abū Dharr, who said: "We fasted with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ the entire month of Ramaḍān, and he did not lead us (in night prayer) for any of it until only seven nights were left. He then led us (in prayer) until a third of the night had passed. When there were only six (nights left), he did not lead us. When there were only five (nights left), he led us until half the night had passed. I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! Why do you not (lead us) in voluntary prayer for the entire night?' He replied: 'If a person prays with the Imām until he leaves, it will be counted as an entire night's prayer for him.' And when there were four (nights left) he did not stand (in prayer). When only three (nights) remained, he gathered his family and wives and the people, and led us (in prayer) until we thought that we would miss the Falāh.'" He (the sub-narrator) said: "I said: 'What is the Falāh?' He (Abū Dharr) said: 'The Sahūr (pre-dawn meal). — Then he did not lead us for the rest of the month.'" (Sahīh)

1375 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِي ذَرٍّ، قَالَ: صُمْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَمَضَانَ، فَلَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا شَيْئًا مِنَ الشَّهْرِ حَتَّى بَقِيَ سَبْعٌ، فَقَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ السَّادِسَةُ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِنَا، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الْخَامِسَةُ قَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ، فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، لَوْ نَفَّلْتَنَا قِيَامَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، قَالَ: فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ إِذَا صَلَّى مَعَ الْإِمَامِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ حُسِبَ لَهُ قِيَامُ لَيْلَةٍ»، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الرَّابِعَةُ لَمْ يَقُمْ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ الثَّالِثَةُ جَمَعَ أَهْلَهُ وَنِسَاءَهُ وَالنَّاسَ، فَقَامَ بِنَا حَتَّى خَشِينَا أَنْ يَفُوتَنَا الْفَلَاحُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَمَا الْفَلَاحُ؟ قَالَ: السُّحُورُ، ثُمَّ لَمْ يَقُمْ بِقِيَّةَ الشَّهْرِ
