138. Narrated Kuraib: Ibn 'Abbās رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ said, "The Prophet ﷺ slept till he snored and then offered Ṣalāt (prayer) (or probably lay till his breath sounds were heard and then got up and prayed).” Ibn ‘Abbās added: “I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt, Maimūna, the Prophet ﷺ slept for a part of the night; and late in the night, he got up and performed ablution from a hanging water-skin, a light (perfect) ablution and stood up for Ṣalāt. I, too, performed a similar ablution, then I went and stood on his left. He drew me to his right and prayed as much as Allāh wished, and again lay and slept till his breath sounds were heard. Later on the Mua’dh-dhīn (call-maker for the Ṣalāt) came to him and informed him that it was time for Ṣalāt. The Prophet ﷺ went with him for the Ṣalāt without performing a new ablution.” (Sufyān said to ‘Amr that some people said, “The eyes of Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ sleep but his heart does not sleep.” ‘Amr replied, “I heard ‘Ubaid bin ‘Umair saying that the dreams of Prophets were Divine Revelations, and then he recited the Verse: ... (O my son! I have seen in a dream that I am slaughtering you (offer you in sacrifice to Allāh)...” (V.37:102). (See Faṭh Al-Bārī, Vol.I, page 249). (See Hadīth No.183)

138 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنِي كُرَيْبٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلم نَامَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى - " ثُمَّ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ سُفْيَانُ، مَرَّةً بَعْدَ مَرَّةٍ عَنْ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ لَيْلَةً فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ قَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْ شَنٍّ مُعَلَّقٍ وُضُوءًا خَفِيفًا يُخَفِّفُهُ - عَمْرٌو وَيُقَلِّلُهُ -، وَقَامَ يُصَلِّي، فَتَوَضَّأْتُ نَحْوًا مِمَّا تَوَضَّأَ، ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ، عَنْ يَسَارِهِ - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ سُفْيَانُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ - فَحَوَّلَنِي فَجَعَلَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، ثُمَّ صَلَّى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ فَنَامَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ المُنَادِي فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ، فَقَامَ مَعَهُ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ، فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ» قُلْنَا لِعَمْرٍو إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَنَامُ عَيْنُهُ وَلاَ يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ» قَالَ عَمْرٌو سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ بْنَ عُمَيْرٍ يَقُولُ: " رُؤْيَا الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَحْيٌ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {إِنِّي أَرَى فِي المَنَامِ أَنِّي أَذْبَحُكَ} [الصافات: 102] "
