خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فِيمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَشَبَابٌ تُؤَخِّرُونَ وَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَشَيْخٌ أُعَجِّلُ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ اللَّيْلِ أَوَّلَ اللَّيْلِ .
Translation
Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Sh<span class="iTxt">Azaan</span>, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Mansour Bin Hazim, from Abu Aban Bin Taghlub who said, ‘I went out with Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> in what is between Makkah and Al-Medina, so he<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘As for you all, so you are youths. You are delaying, and as for myself<sup>asws</sup>, so I<sup>asws</sup> am an old man, I<sup>asws</sup> hasten’. It was so that he<sup>asws</sup> would pray the night <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> earlier part of night (<span class="iTxt">Salāt)</span>’.
