حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَدَّادُ كُوفِيٌّ ثِقَةٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ع
َمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْلَا أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي لَأَمَرْتُهُمْ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ بِوُضُوءٍ أَوْ مَعَ كُلِّ وُضُوءٍ سِوَاكٌ وَلَأَخَّرْتُ عِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ

محمد بن ع
English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayra (رضي الله عنه) — via Abu 'Ubayda al-Haddad [described as reliable (thiqa), from Kufa], from Muhammad ibn 'Amr, from Abu Salama — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Were it not that I fear burdening my community, I would have commanded them to perform wudu with every prayer — or [to use] siwak with every wudu — and I would have delayed 'Isha al-akhira until a third of the night.'
