2012. Narrated ‘Urwa that he was informed by ‘Āishah رضي الله عنها “Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ went out in the middle of the night and performed Ṣalāt (prayer) in the mosque and some men performed Ṣalāt (prayer) behind him. In the morning, the people spoke about it and then a large number of them gathered and performed Ṣalāt (prayer) behind him (on the second night). In the next morning the people again talked about it and on the third night the mosque was full with a large number of people. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ came out and the people performed Ṣalāt (prayer) behind him. On the fourth night the mosque was overwhelmed with people and could not accommodate them, but the Prophet ﷺ came out (only) for the morning Ṣalāt (prayer). When the morning Ṣalāt (prayer) was finished, he recited Taṣhah-hud and (addressing the people) said, “Ammā ba’du, your presence was not hidden from me but I was afraid lest the night Ṣalāt (prayer) should be enjoined on you and you might not be able to carry it on.” So, Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ died and the situation remained like that (i.e., people offered the night prayers individually).”

Arabic text

2012 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، أَخْبَرَتْهُ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَرَجَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ، فَصَلَّى فِي المَسْجِدِ، وَصَلَّى رِجَالٌ بِصَلاَتِهِ، فَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ فَتَحَدَّثُوا، فَاجْتَمَعَ أَكْثَرُ مِنْهُمْ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّوْا مَعَهُ، فَأَصْبَحَ النَّاسُ فَتَحَدَّثُوا، فَكَثُرَ أَهْلُ المَسْجِدِ مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَصَلَّى فَصَلَّوْا بِصَلاَتِهِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَتِ اللَّيْلَةُ الرَّابِعَةُ عَجَزَ المَسْجِدُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ، حَتَّى خَرَجَ لِصَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى الفَجْرَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ، فَتَشَهَّدَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْفَ عَلَيَّ مَكَانُكُمْ، وَلَكِنِّي خَشِيتُ أَنْ تُفْتَرَضَ عَلَيْكُمْ، فَتَعْجِزُوا عَنْهَا»، فَتُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالأَمْرُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ
