1418. It was narrated from Abu Wâ'il that 'Abdullâh said: "I prayed one night with the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and he kept standing until I thought of doing something bad." I said: "What was that?" He said: "I thought of sitting down and leaving him." (Sahih)
1418 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَامِرِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، وَسُوَيْدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «صَلَّيْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِمًا حَتَّى هَمَمْتُ بِأَمْرِ سَوْءٍ» ، قُلْتُ: وَمَا ذَاكَ الْأَمْرُ؟ قَالَ: هَمَمْتُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ وَأَتْرُكَهُ

Tahajjud may to be performed as a congregational prayer. Long recitation is preferred in Tahajjud. A teacher's leading by example gives courage to the pupils and creates in them a desire to follow his example. 'Abdullâh bin Mas'ud ﷺ felt a desire to offer prayer behind the Prophet ﷺ. The etiquette of love and pupilage demanded that he persevered with the teacher until the last, in his noble activity. He, therefore, thought it bad to sit down in the middle of the prayer, for it negated the very spirit of love and reverence for the master.
