It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal, he says: One day we waited a long time for the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for the 'Isha prayer, but he delayed so much that a man said, "He will not come." Just then, the Prophet arrived, and a man said, "O Messenger of Allah! We thought that you had already performed the prayer and would not come now." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Offer this prayer in the darkness, for you have been given superiority over all other nations because of this prayer; the nations before you did not offer this prayer."
