483. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ delayed 'Ishā' until 'Umar called him and said: 'The women and children have gone to sleep.' Then the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ came out and said: 'There is no one who is offering this prayer but you.' And at that time no one used to pray except the people of Al-Madīnah." (Sahīh)
482 - أَخْبَرَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ نَصْرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: أَعْتَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعِشَاءِ حَتَّى نَادَاهُ عُمَرُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: نَامَ النِّسَاءُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ، فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يُصَلِّي هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ غَيْرَكُمْ» وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَحَدٌ يُصَلِّي غَيْرَ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ

1. This incident belongs to the early period of Islam, before the Revelation of Surah Al-Hujurāt; whereas forbiddance of raising one's voice and the threat of deeds coming to naught in its wake arrived in Surah Al-Hujurāt. 2. "There is no one who is offering this prayer but you" - because the Christians and the Jews never offer the 'Ishā' prayer. Only the Muslims perform it. And during that period, Islam had not spread outside of the city of Madinah, or at the most, there were a few helpless overwhelmed Muslims in Makkah, who had no room to offer the prayer publicly, in congregation. They offered their prayer in concealment.
