حَدَّثَنَاه أَبُو کُرَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الْکَلْبِيُّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ سَيَّارِ بْنِ سَلَامَةَ أَبِي الْمِنْهَالِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا بَرْزَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّ يَقُولُا کَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُؤَخِّرُ الْعِشَائَ إِلَی ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ وَيَکْرَهُ النَّوْمَ قَبْلَهَا وَالْحَدِيثَ بَعْدَهَا وَکَانَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ مِنْ الْمِائَةِ إِلَی السِّتِّينَ وَکَانَ يَنْصَرِفُ حِينَ يَعْرِفُ بَعْضُنَا وَجْهَ بَعْضٍ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1464
Sayyar b. Salama reported: I heard Abu Barza saying that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not mind some delay in the 'Isha' prayer even up to midnight and he did not like sleeping before (observing it) and talking after it. Shu'ba said: I again met him (Sayyar b. Salama) for the second time and he said: Even up to the third (part) of the night.
