حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ حَدَّثَنَا حُمَيْدٌ قَالَ سُئِلَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِکٍ هَلْ اتَّخَذَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خَاتَمًا قَالَ نَعَمْ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً صَلَاةَ الْعِشَائِ إِلَی قَرِيبٍ مِنْ شَطْرِ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا صَلَّی أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا وَنَامُوا وَإِنَّکُمْ لَنْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلَاةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمْ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ کَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَی وَبِيصِ خَاتَمِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 692
Humaid said: “Anas bin Mâlik was asked: ‘Did the Prophet P.B.U.H wear a ring?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ One night he delayed the ‘Jshã’ prayer until almost the middle of the night When he had prayed he turned to face us and said: ‘The people have prayed and gone to sleep, but you will still be in a state of prayer so long as you are waiting for the (next) prayer.” (Sahih) Anas said: “It is as if I can see the sparkle from his ring.”
