Narrated 'Ata: One night the Prophet delayed the `Isha' prayer whereupon `Umar went to him and said, The prayer, O Allah's Apostle! The women and children had slept. The Prophet came out with water dropping from his head, and said, Were I not afraid that it would be hard for my followers (or for the people), I would order them to pray `Isha prayer at this time.
