Sunan Abi Dawud 201 (Book 1, Hadith 201) #20492
Private Conversation with the Prophet

SUMMARY: A man spoke to the Prophet in private and then the Prophet led them in prayer without mentioning ablution.

Anas b. Malik reported: (The people) stood up for the night prayer and a man stood up and spoke forth: Messenger of Allah, I have to say something to you. He (the Prophet) entered into secret conversation with him, till the people or some of the people dozed off, ad then he led them in prayer. He (Thabit al-Bunani) did not mention ablution.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، وَدَاوُدُ بْنُ شَبِيبٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ، أَنَّ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ أُقِيمَتْ صَلاَةُ الْعِشَاءِ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي حَاجَةً ‏.‏ فَقَامَ يُنَاجِيهِ حَتَّى نَعَسَ الْقَوْمُ أَوْ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ صَلَّى بِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ وُضُوءًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a man who wanted to speak privately with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ during night prayer. The people were standing for prayer and he asked to speak with him privately. The Prophet ﷺ agreed and they went into a secret conversation until some of the people dozed off. After that, he led them in prayer without mentioning ablution or wudu first. This hadith teaches us that it is important to respect other people's privacy when they are speaking with someone else and not interrupt their conversation even if it takes longer than expected. It also shows us that we should be patient when waiting for something as we don't know what could be happening behind closed doors or why something might take longer than expected. Lastly, this hadith reminds us of how important it is to perform wudu before praying as this was not mentioned by the Prophet ﷺ before leading them in prayer which could have been an oversight on his part or intentional due to their circumstances at that time.
