Shahih Bukhari - 537

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mahmud] -yaitu Ibnu Ghailan- berkata, telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abdurrazaq] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Ibnu Juraij] berkata, telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Nafi'] berkata, telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin 'Umar], bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam pernah suatu malam disibukkan dengan urusan sehingga mengakhirkan shalat 'Isya. Dan karenanya kami tertidur di dalam masjid. Lalu kami terbangun, lalu tertidur, lalu terbangun lagi hingga akhirnya Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam keluar menemui kami seraya bersabda: "Tidak ada seorangpun dari penduduk bumi yang menunggu shalat seperti ini selain kalian." Dan Ibnu 'Umar tidak mempermasalahkan apakah Beliau memajukannya atau mengakhirkan. Pelaksanakaannya. Dan Ibnu Umar tidur dahulu sebelum shalat Isya. [Ibnu Juraij] berkata, "Aku bertanya kepada ['Atha'], lalu dia berkata, "Aku mendengar [Ibnu 'Abbas] berkata, "Pernah suatu malam Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mengakhirkan shalat 'Isya hingga banyak orang tertidur, kemudian mereka terbangun, lalu tertidur lagi, kemudian terbangun lagi." 'Umar bin Al Khaththab lalu berdiri dan berkata, "Shalat." 'Atha' berkata, Ibnu 'Abbas, "Maka Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam kemudian keluar dengan meletakkan tangan pada kepala, seakan aku melihat rambut beliau basah meneteskan air. Beliau kemudiaan bersabda: "Seandainya tidak memberatkan ummatku, niscaya aku akan perintahkan mereka melaksanakan shalat 'Isya seperti waktu sekarang ini." Aku (Ibnu Juraij) kemudian menanyakan kepada 'Atha untuk memastikan kenapa Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam meletakkan tangannya di kepalanya seabgaimana yang diberitakan oleh Ibnu 'Abbas. Maka 'Atha merenggangkan sedikit jari-jarinya kemudian meletakkan ujung jarinya di atas sisi kepala, kemudian ia menekannya sambil menggerakkan ke sekeliling kepala hingga ibu jarinya menyentuh ujung telinga yang dimulai dari pelipis hingga pangkal jenggot. Dia melakukannya tidak pelan juga tidak cepat, kecuali sedang seperti itu. Lalu Beliau bersabda: "Seandainya tidak memberatkan ummatku, niscaya aku akan perintahkan mereka melaksanakan shalat seperti waktu sekarang ini." (HR. Bukhari: 537)

Narrated Ibn Juraij from Nafiʿ: ʿAbdullah bin ʿUmar said, "Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was busy (at the time of the ʿIshaʾ), so the prayer was delayed so much so that we slept and woke up and slept and woke up again. The Prophet (ﷺ) came out and said, 'None amongst the dwellers of the earth but you have been waiting for the prayer." Ibn ʿUmar did not find any harm in praying it earlier or in delaying it unless he was afraid that sleep might overwhelm him and he might miss the prayer, and sometimes he used to sleep before the ʿIshaʾ prayer. Ibn Juraij said, "I said to ʿAtaʾ, 'I heard Ibn ʿAbbas saying: Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delayed the ʿIshaʾ prayer to such an extent that the people slept and got up and slept again and got up again. Then ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab I, stood up and reminded the Prophet (ﷺ) I of the prayer.ʿAtaʾ said, 'Ibn ʿAbbas said: The Prophet (ﷺ) came out as if I was looking at him at this time, and water was trickling from his head and he was putting his hand on his head and then said, 'Hadn't I thought it hard for my followers, I would have ordered them to pray (ʿIshaʾ prayer) at this time.' I asked ʿAtaʾ for further information, how the Prophet (ﷺ) had kept his hand on his head as he was told by Ibn ʿAbbas. ʿAtaʾ separated his fingers slightly and put their tips on the side of the head, brought the fingers downwards approximating them till the thumb touched the lobe of the ear at the side of the temple and the beard on the face. He neither slowed nor hurried in this action but he acted like that. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Hadn't I thought it hard for my followers I would have ordered them to pray at this time." (Bukhari: 537)
