English translation
567. Narrated Abū Mūsā رضي الله عنه: My companions, who came with me in the boat, and I landed at a place called Baqī Buṭhān. The Prophet ﷺ was at Al-Madīna at that time. One of us used to go to the Prophet ﷺ by turns every night at the time of the Ishā' prayer. Once, I, along with my companions went to the Prophet ﷺ and he was busy in some of his affairs, so the Ishā' prayer was delayed to the middle of the night. He then came out and led the people [in (Ṣalāt)] prayer]. After finishing from the Salāt, he addressed the people present there saying, "Be patient! Don't go away. Have the glad tidings. It is from the Blessing of Allāh upon you that none amongst mankind has offered Salāt at this time save you." Or said, "None except you has offered prayer at this time." Abū Mūsā added, "So we returned happily after what we heard from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ."
