Sunan Abi Dawud 1380
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أُنَيْسٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي بَادِيَةً أَكُونُ فِيهَا وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي فِيهَا بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ فَمُرْنِي بِلَيْلَةٍ أَنْزِلُهَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ . فَقَالَ " انْزِلْ لَيْلَةَ ثَلاَثٍ وَعِشْرِينَ " . فَقُلْتُ لاِبْنِهِ كَيْفَ كَانَ أَبُوكَ يَصْنَعُ قَالَ كَانَ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْعَصْرَ فَلاَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْهُ لِحَاجَةٍ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ الصُّبْحَ فَإِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَجَدَ دَابَّتَهُ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَلَسَ عَلَيْهَا فَلَحِقَ بِبَادِيَتِهِ .
Ahmad ibn Yunus narrated to us: Zuhayr narrated to us: Muhammad ibn Ishaq informed us: Muhammad ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, from Ibn Abd Allah ibn Unays al-Juhani, from his father, who said: I said, Messenger of Allah, I live in a remote place where, praise be to Allah, I pray. Tell me of a night on which I should come down to this mosque. He said: Come down on the night of the twenty-third. I asked his son how his father used to act. He said: He would enter the mosque after praying the afternoon prayer and would not leave it for any need until he had prayed the dawn prayer. After praying the dawn prayer, he would find his mount at the mosque door, sit on it, and return to his remote place.
