    (قلت: إسناده ضعيف؛ زهير بن محمد وشريك بن عبد الله سيِّئا الحفظ، والأول أسْوأُ حفظاً، وهو علة الحديث. وقوله: عن كريب عن الفضل بن عباس منكر، والمعروف: عن كريب عن عبد الله بن عباس؛ فهو صاحب القصة. كذلك أخرجه الشيخان، والمصنف في " الكتاب الآخر (١٢٣٧))

1355. Al-Faḍl bin 'Abbās narrated: "I once spent the night at the Prophet's ﷺ house to see how he prayed. He stood up and performed Wudū', then prayed two Rak'ahs in which his standing was of the same length as his Rukū', and his Rukū' was the same length as his prostration. Then he slept, then awoke and performed Wudū' and used the Siwāk. He then recited five verses from (Sūrah) Āl Imrān: 'Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and earth and in the changing of the night and day....'[1] He continued doing so until he had prayed ten Rak'ahs. He then stood up and prayed one Rak'ah, making it his Witr. The caller (Mu'adh-dhin) called out (the Adhān) at that time, so he stood up after the Mu'adh-dhin had finished (the call) and prayed two quick Rak'ahs. He then sat until he prayed the morning prayer." (Ḍa'if) Abū Dāwūd said: I was not able to hear some of it from Ibn Bash-shār.[2]

1355 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَاصِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ شَرِيكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي نَمِرٍ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: «بِتُّ لَيْلَةً عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِأَنْظُرَ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّي، فَقَامَ فَتَوَضَّأَ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ، قِيَامُهُ مِثْلُ رُكُوعِهِ، وَرُكُوعُهُ مِثْلُ سُجُودِهِ، ثُمَّ نَامَ، ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ، فَتَوَضَّأَ وَاسْتَنَّ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ بِخَمْسِ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ، {إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَاخْتِلَافِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ}، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَفْعَلُ هَذَا حَتَّى صَلَّى عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ، ثُمَّ قَامَ، فَصَلَّى سَجْدَةً وَاحِدَةً، فَأَوْتَرَ بِهَا، وَنَادَى الْمُنَادِي عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدَمَا سَكَتَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، فَصَلَّى سَجْدَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ جَلَسَ حَتَّى صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ»، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ ابْنِ بَشَّارٍ بَعْضُهُ»

    [1] What is apparent is that he means that it does not contain the word: Allāhumma, in the version referred to with the chain of number 1354.
