Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya Ibn Said from Muhammad Ibn Ibrahim that Abdulrahman Ibn Abi Amra AlAnsari said that Uthman Ibn Affan came to the isha prayer and seeing only a few people in the Masjid; he lay down at the back of the Masjid to wait for the number of people to increase. Ibn Abi Amra went and sat down beside him and Uthman asked him who he was; so he told him. Uthman said; What have you memorised of the Quran?; and he told him. Uthman said; If someone is present at isha; it is as if he had stood in prayer for half a night; and if some one is present at subh; it is as if he had stood in prayer for a whole night.
