58. Ibn 'Abbās said: "Once, I spent the night at the Prophet's ﷺ house. When he woke up from his sleep, his water (for purification) was brought to him, then he took his Siwāk and brushed with it. He then recited this Verse: 'Verily, in the creation of the heavens and earth, and the altering of the night and day, there are signs for men of understanding...', until he almost finished the Sūrah,[1] or, he finished it. He then performed Wudū', and went to his prayer place, and prayed two Rak'ah. He then returned to his bed and slept for as long as Allāh willed, then he woke up again and repeated the same acts. Then he returned to his bed and slept, then he woke up again and repeated the same acts. Every time, he would use the Siwāk and pray two Rak'ah. Then he prayed the Witr prayer.
Abū Dāwūd said: Ibn Fuḏail reported it from Ḥuṣain, who said: "...he used the Siwāk, and performed the Wudū' while reciting: 'Verily, in the creation of the heavens and earth...' until he finished the Sūrah." (Ṣaḥīḥ)
