It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the ‘Isha prayer one night. It was said:“The prayer, O Messenger of Allah, the women and children have fallen asleep.”So you came out, and water was dripping from your side, and you (peace and blessings be upon you) said:“This is (the proper) time (for this prayer) if it were not difficult for my Ummah.”
