Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ صُهَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ أُقِيمَتِ الصَّلاَةُ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَجِيٌّ فِي جَانِبِ الْمَسْجِدِ فَمَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ حَتَّى نَامَ الْقَوْمُ .
Translation
Musaddad narrated to us: ʿAbd al-Warith narrated to us, from ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ibn Suhayb, from Anas, who said: The iqamah was given while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was in quiet conversation at the side of the mosque. He did not rise for prayer until the people had fallen asleep.
