'A'isha reported:

حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ ، ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ، ح قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، - وَأَلْفَاظُهُمْ مُتَقَارِبَةٌ - قَالُوا جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ حَكِيمٍ ، عَنْ أُمِّ كُلْثُومٍ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، أَنَّهَا أَخْبَرَتْهُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ أَعْتَمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عَامَّةُ اللَّيْلِ وَحَتَّى نَامَ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ لَوَقْتُهَا لَوْلاَ أَنْ أَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي ‏" ‏ ‏.‏ وَفِي حَدِيثِ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ ‏"‏ لَوْلاَ أَنْ يَشُقَّ عَلَى أُمَّتِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) one night delayed (observing the 'Isya' prayer) till a great part of the night was over and the people in the mosque had gone to sleep. He (the Holy Prophet) then came out and observed prayer and said: This is the proper time for it; were it not that I would impose a burden on my people (I would normally pray at this time). In the hadith transmitters by 'Abd al-Razzaq (the words are):" Were it not that it would impose burden on my people."
