Sahih Muslim 644b (Book 5, Hadith 289) #8603
The Name of Night Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against allowing Bedouins to influence the name of the night prayer, as it is mentioned in the Quran as 'Isya'.

Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah said: Let the bedouin not gain upper band over you In regard to the name of your prayer, i. e. night prayer, for it is mentioned 'Isya' in the Book of Allah (i. e. the Qur'an). (The bedouin call it 'Atama because) they make delay in milling their she-camels.
وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي لَبِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ لاَ تَغْلِبَنَّكُمُ الأَعْرَابُ عَلَى اسْمِ صَلاَتِكُمُ الْعِشَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْعِشَاءُ وَإِنَّهَا تُعْتِمُ بِحِلاَبِ الإِبِلِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of maintaining the correct name for night prayer, which is Isya according to the Quran. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against allowing Bedouins to influence this name, as they tend to delay milking their she-camels and call it Atama instead. This hadith teaches us that we should not allow external influences to change our religious practices and beliefs, but rather stay true to what has been revealed in Islam's holy book -the Quran. We should also be mindful of our actions and how they can affect others; in this case, delaying milking she-camels can lead people astray from following Islamic teachings correctly.
