English translation
[1783] 177 - (761) It was narrated from 'Aîshah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ prayed in the Masjid one night, and some people followed his prayer. The next night he prayed again, and the numbers of people increased. Then they gathered on the third or fourth night, but the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ did not come out to them. When morning came, he said: "I saw what you did, and nothing kept me from coming out to you but the fact that I was afraid that it would be made obligatory for you." He said: "And that was in Ramaḍān."[1]
