English translation

1367. Ibn ‘Abbās narrated that he once spent the night at Maimūnah’s house — the wife of the Prophet ﷺ — who was his paternal aunt. He said: “I slept on the width of the mattress, while the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and his family were sleeping lengthwise. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ slept for half the night, or a little bit before or after it. He then woke up and rubbed the sleep off from his face. He then recited the last ten Verses of Sūrat Al 'Imrān, and stood up to a leather container of water that was hanging (from the wall), and performed Wudū' in a perfect manner. Then he stood up to pray. So I, too, stood up and did what he had done (performed Wudū'), then stood next to him. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ placed his right hand on my head, and started tugging my ear. He prayed two Rak'ahs, then two Rak'ahs, then another two, then another two, then another two, then another two." — Al-Qa'nabī (one of the narrators) said: "six times." — Then he prayed the Witr, and lied down again, until the Mu'adh-dhīn came. He then stood up and prayed two light Rak'ahs, then went out and prayed the morning prayer." (Sāhīh)

1367 - حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مَخْرمَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ بَاتَ عِنْدَ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ، قَالَ: «فَاضْطَجَعْتُ فِي عَرْضِ الْوِسَادَةِ، وَاضْطَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَهْلُهُ فِي طُولِهَا، فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلّى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَصَفَ اللَّيْلُ، أَوْ قَبْلَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ، أَوْ بَعْدَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ اسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَلَسَ يَمْسَحُ النَّوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ بِيَدِهِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْعَشْرَ الْآيَاتِ الْخَوَاتِمِ مِنْ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى شَنٍّ مُعَلَّقَةٍ، فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا، فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ، ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي»، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: " فَقُمْتُ فَصَنَعْتُ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ، ثُمَّ ذَهَبْتُ، فَقُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى رَأْسِي، فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِي يَفْتِلُهَا، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، - قَالَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ: سِتَّ مَرَّاتٍ - ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى جَاءَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ، فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ، فَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ "
