حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي بَادِيَةً أَکُونُ فِيهَا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فِيهَا بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ فَمُرْنِي بِلَيْلَةٍ أَنْزِلُهَا إِلَی هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ انْزِلْ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِهِ کَيْفَ کَانَ أَبُوکَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ کَانَ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ إِذَا صَلَّی الْعَصْرَ فَلَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ لِحَاجَةٍ حَتَّی يُصَلِّيَ الصُّبْحَ فَإِذَا صَلَّی الصُّبْحَ وَجَدَ دَابَّتَهُ عَلَی بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَحِقَ بِبَادِيَتِهِ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 1380
Narrated Abdullah ibn Unays al-Juhani: I said to the Messenger of Allah: I have a place in the desert where I live and in which I pray, with the praise of Allah; but give me command about a night when I come to this mosque. He replied: Come on the twenty third night. I (a sub-narrator, Muhammad ibn Ibrahim) said to his (Abdullah ibn Unays's) son: How would your father act? He replied: He used to enter the mosque when he had offered the afternoon prayer, and did not leave it for any purpose till he prayed the morning prayer. Then when he had prayed the morning prayer, he found his riding beast at the door of the mosque, mounted it and got back to his desert.
