Sunan Abi Dawud 4984 (Book 43, Hadith 212) #25275
Performing Prayer at Night

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) warned against the desert Arabs dominating the name of prayer, and advised to perform it when it is dark.

Ibn 'Umar reported the prophet (May peace be upon him) as saying: The desert Arabs may not dominate you in respect of the name of your prayer. Beware! It is al-'Isha, but they milk their camels when it is fairly dark.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَغْلِبَنَّكُمُ الأَعْرَابُ عَلَى اسْمِ صَلاَتِكُمْ أَلاَ وَإِنَّهَا الْعِشَاءُ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ يُعْتِمُونَ بِالإِبِلِ
