Sunan an-Nasai 535 (Book 6, Hadith 42) #15143
The Time for Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that prayer should be done between the time when the twilight disappears and one-third of the night has passed.

It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Messenger of Allah delayed A;-'Atamah one night, and 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, called out to him: 'The women and children have gone to sleep'. The Messenger of Allah came out and said: 'No one is waiting for it except you'. At that time no prayer was offered except in Al-Madinah. Then he said: 'Pray it between the time when the twilight disappears and when one-third of the night has passed'."
أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ حِمْيَرَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، وَأَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَعْتَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَيْلَةً بِالْعَتَمَةِ فَنَادَاهُ عُمَرُ رضى الله عنه نَامَ النِّسَاءُ وَالصِّبْيَانُ ‏.‏ فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَقَالَ ‏"‏ مَا يَنْتَظِرُهَا غَيْرُكُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يُصَلَّى يَوْمَئِذٍ إِلاَّ بِالْمَدِينَةِ ثُمَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ صَلُّوهَا فِيمَا بَيْنَ أَنْ يَغِيبَ الشَّفَقُ إِلَى ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ حِمْيَرَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray at its designated times

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of prayer in Islam. It was narrated by Aishah, a wife of Prophet Muhammad, that one night Umar called out to him saying that everyone had gone to sleep. In response, Prophet Muhammad said no one was waiting for it except Umar himself. He then taught them that prayer should be done between the time when twilight disappears and when one-third of the night has passed. This hadith teaches us about how important it is to pray at its designated times and not delay it unnecessarily. It also shows us how much respect we must have for our elders as Umar showed respect towards Prophet Muhammad by addressing him with honorific titles such as “Messenger of Allah” even though he was his friend and companion.
