The Book of the Prohibited actions
The Arabic includes the chain of narration (sanad) and the collector's commentary; the English translation shows the Prophet's words only.
وعن أنس رضي الله عنه أنهم انتظروا النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فجاءهم قريبًا من شطر الليل فصلى بهم، يعني العشاء، قال: ثم خطبنا فقال:
"ألا إن الناس قد صلوا. ثم رقدوا، وإنكم لن تزالوا في صلاة ما انتظرتم الصلاة" ((رواه البخاري)).
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: Once the Prophet (ﷺ) delayed the 'Isha' (night) prayer till midnight. He (ﷺ) turned to us after the prayer and said, "All the people slept after offering their prayers, but you who waited, will be accounted as if you were engaged in your prayer throughout the period.".
