1353. It was reported from Husain, from Ḥabīb bin Abī Thābit, from Muḥammad bin 'Alī bin 'Abdullāh bin 'Abbās, from his father, from Ibn 'Abbās; that he once slept over with the Prophet ﷺ, and saw him awake and use the Siwāk, then perform the Wudū, all the while reciting: 'Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth...' [1] until he completed the Sūrah. "Then he stood up and prayed two Rak'ahs, lengthening the recitation, Rukū and prostrations. Then he finished the prayers and went to sleep, until he snored. He then repeated this three times, thus praying six Rak'ahs — every time he would use the Siwāk, then perform the Wudū and recite these Verses. Then he prayed Witr — 'Uthmān (one of the narrators) said: "with three Rak'ahs, then the Mu'adh-dhin came and he left for the prayer..." — Ibn 'Eisā (one of the narrators) said: "Then he prayed Witr and Bilāl came to him and informed him of the time for prayer, and this was when the dawn broke. So he prayed the two Rak'ahs of Fajr and then left for the prayer..." — Then the two of them (the narrators) were in accord [1] Āl-Imrān 3:190. regarding the rest of the narration: "He would say (while going to the Masjid): 'Allāhummaj'al fī qalbī nūran waj'al fī lisānī nūran waj'al fī sam'ī nūran, waj'al fī baṣarī nūran, waj'al khalafī nūran, wa amāmī nūran, waj'al min fawqī nūran, wa min taḥtī nūran. Allāhumma, wa a'zim lī nūra (O Allāh! Enlighten my heart, and enlighten my tongue, and enlighten my seeing, and enlighten my hearing, and place light behind me, and in front of me, and place light above me and below me. O Allāh! Make my light great (and strong).'" (Ṣaḥīḥ)

1353 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا حُصَيْنٌ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، عَنْ حُصَيْنٍ، عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ رَقَدَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَآهُ اسْتَيْقَظَ، فَتَسَوَّكَ وَتَوَضَّأَ، وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: {إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ} حَتَّى خَتَمَ السُّورَةَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَطَالَ فِيهِمَا الْقِيَامَ وَالرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ، ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ، فَنَامَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ، ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ بِسِتِّ رَكَعَاتٍ، كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَسْتَاكُ، ثُمَّ يَتَوَضَّأُ وَيَقْرَأُ هَؤُلَاءِ الْآيَاتِ، ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ - قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: بِثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ فَأَتَاهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ عِيسَى: ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ، فَأَتَاهُ بِلَالٌ، فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ حِينَ طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ، ثُمَّ اتَّفَقَا - وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ فِي لِسَانِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ فِي سَمْعِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ فِي بَصَرِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ خَلْفِي نُورًا، وَأَمَامِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ فَوْقِي نُورًا، وَمِنْ تَحْتِي نُورًا اللَّهُمَّ، وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا»،
