English translation

201. It was narrated from Ḥammād bin Salamah, from Thābit Al-Bunānī, that Anas bin Mālik said: "The Iqāmah for the Ishā' prayer was called, when a man stood up and said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! I have a matter (to discuss with you).' So he stood talking privately to him until the people, or some people, nodded off. He then led them in prayer." And he did not mention Wudū'. (Sahīh)

Arabic text

201 - حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: أُقِيمَتْ صَلَاةُ الْعِشَاءِ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً، «فَقَامَ يُنَاجِيهِ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ، أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وُضُوءًا»

Commentary

1. The author stated: "It was reported by Ibn Abī 'Arūbah from Qatādah with another wording." That is narrated by the author, from Aḥmad, in his Masā'il from him. And its wording contains: "Among them were those who performed Wudū' and among them were those that did not perform Wudū'." It was also recorded by Al-Bazzār and Abū Ya'la, and its meaning is similar to number 201, which is also recorded by Muslim (no. 836). That is: some of them slept, so some of them performed Wudū', and some of them did not sleep, so they did not perform Wudū'. 2. The Ishā' prayer is a distinguishing mark of the Muslim Ummah. Unlike other prayers, it is recommended (Mustahāb) to perform it later during the night, provided it is not difficult on those attending that congregation. 3. There is no harm if there is an interval of time between the Iqāmah and the opening Takbīr when there is a need for it, and there is no need to call the Iqāmah again in such case.
