حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَنَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، قَالَ انْتَظَرْنَا الْحَسَنَ وَرَاثَ عَلَيْنَا حَتَّى قَرُبْنَا مِنْ وَقْتِ قِيَامِهِ، فَجَاءَ فَقَالَ دَعَانَا جِيرَانُنَا هَؤُلاَءِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ أَنَسٌ نَظَرْنَا النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى كَانَ شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ يَبْلُغُهُ، فَجَاءَ فَصَلَّى لَنَا، ثُمَّ خَطَبَنَا فَقَالَ " أَلاَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ قَدْ صَلَّوْا ثُمَّ رَقَدُوا، وَإِنَّكُمْ لَمْ تَزَالُوا فِي صَلاَةٍ مَا انْتَظَرْتُمُ الصَّلاَةَ " . قَالَ الْحَسَنُ وَإِنَّ الْقَوْمَ لاَ يَزَالُونَ بِخَيْرٍ مَا انْتَظَرُوا الْخَيْرَ. قَالَ قُرَّةُ هُوَ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
‘Abdullah bin al-Sabbah narrated to us: Abu ‘Ali al-Hanafi narrated to us: Qurra bin Khalid narrated to us: We waited for al-Hasan, who kept us waiting until it was nearly time for him to rise. He came and said, ‘Our neighbors here invited us.’ Then he said: Anas said: One night we waited for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) until about halfway through the night. He came and led us in prayer, then addressed us, saying, ‘The people have prayed and gone to sleep, while you remain in prayer for as long as you wait for the prayer.’ Al-Hasan said: People remain in a good state as long as they wait for what is good. Qurra said: This is from Anas, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
