Midrash for Pesachim 189:11
ואין לי אלא מצות ל"ת שניתק לעשה מצות ל"ת גמור מנין ת"ל (במדבר ט, יב) ועצם לא ישברו בו מה הפרט מפורש מ"ע ול"ת שניתק לעשה ול"ת גמור אף כל מ"ע ול"ת שניתק לעשה ול"ת גמור
how do we know it of negative precepts? Because It is stated, They shall leave none of it unto the morning.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Num. IX, 12; hence the deduction stated in the preceding note applies to negative precepts too.');"><sup>15</sup></span>

R. Yehudah says: I might think that "the small Pesach" (Pesach Sheini, viz. Bamidbar 9:10-12) also requires remaining overnight. It is, therefore, written "and you shall betake yourselves in the morning and go to your tents. (8) Six days shall you eat matzoth." What requires six days requires remaining overnight — to exclude the small Pesach, which requires only one day. The sages say: It (Pesach Sheini) is not worse than wood and frankincense. (i.e., Just as they require remaining overnight, so, Pesach Sheini.)
