حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ أُقِيمَتْ الصَّلَاةُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَجِيٌّ فِي جَانِبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَا قَامَ إِلَی الصَّلَاةِ حَتَّی نَامَ الْقَوْمُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 544
Anas reported: the Iqamah was pronounced (for the night prayer) and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ remained engaged in talking (to a person) in the corner of the mosque. He did not begin prayer until the people slept.
