[1443] 218 - (638) Urwah bin Az-Zubair narrated that 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, said: "One night the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ delayed the 'Ishâ' prayer, the one that is called 'Al-'Atamah,' until it was very dark. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ did not come out until 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb said: 'The women and children have fallen asleep.' Then the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came out, and he said to the people in the Masjid when he came out to them: 'None of the people of earth are waiting for it except you.' That was before Islam had spread among the people." Harmalah added in his report: Ibn Shihâb said: "It was said to me that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'And you should not try to compel the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ to pray. That was when 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭâb called out.'"
