حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ وَحَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ عَاصِمٍ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ أَخَّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَإِذَا النَّاسُ يَنْتَظِرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ أَمَا إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِ هَذِهِ الْأَدْيَانِ أَحَدٌ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ غَيْرُكُمْ قَالَ وَأَنْزَلَ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآيَاتِ لَيْسُوا سَوَاءً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ وَمَا تَفْعَلُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ تُكْفَرُوهُ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالْمُتَّقِينَ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 3760
It was narrated that Ibn Mas'ood (RA) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) delayed 'Isha ' prayer then he came out to the mosque and saw the people waiting for the prayer. He said: "Verily, none of the followers of these other religions is remembering Allah at this moment except you." Then these verses were revealed: "Not all of them are alike; a party of the people of the Scripture stand for the right, they recite the Verses of Allah during the hours of the night, prostrating them- selves in prayer. They believe in Allah and the Last Day; they enjoin Al-Ma'roof (Islamic Monotheism, and following Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)) and forbid Al-Munkar (polytheism, disbelief and opposing Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)); and they hasten in (all) good works; and they are among the righteous. And what ever good they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for Allah knows well those who are Al- Muttacjoon (the pious" [Al 'Imran 3:113-115].
