169. 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb narrated: "Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would talk during the night with Abū Bakr about matters concerning the Muslims while I was with them." (Da'if)
There are narrations on this topic from 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr, Aws bin Ḥudhaifah, and 'Imrān bin Ḥuṣain.
Abū 'Eisā said: The Hadīth of
'Umar is a Ḥasan Ḥadīth.
Al-Ḥasan bin 'Ubaidullāh reported this Ḥadīth in a long story, from Ibrāhīm, from 'Alqamah, from a man from Ju'fi – and it is said that he is Qais or Ibn Qais – from 'Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ.
The people of knowledge among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, the Tābi'īn and those after them, differ over talking in the night after 'Ishā', the later prayer. Some of them permitted it if it has to do with (learning or teaching) knowledge and what is required for some needs. Most of the Aḥādīth indicate some permission.
It has been related that the Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no talking in the night except for the praying person or the traveler."

Commentary
Imām Bukhārī ﷺ established various chapters about talking and discussion after 'Ishā' prayer, which proves that giving advice, admonition, exhortation, teaching and learning, talking and socialising with guests and between wife and husband is allowed.
