Hadith #186
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا سُرَيْجُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَخَّرَ لَيْلَةً الْعِشَاءَ
حَتَّى رَقَدْنَا ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظْنَا ثُمَّ رَقَدْنَا ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظْنَا وَإِنَّمَا حَبَسَنَا لِوَفْدٍ جَاءَهُ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ غَيْرُكُمْ

English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — via Surayj ibn al-Nu'man, from Fulayh, from Nafi' — that one night the Messenger of Allah ﷺ delayed the 'Isha' prayer until we slept, then we woke up, then we slept, then we woke up again. He had kept us waiting on account of a delegation that came to him. Then he came out and said: 'There is no one waiting for this prayer other than you.'
