English translation
4569. Narrated Ibn ‘Abbās رضي الله عنهما I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimūna (the wife of the Prophet ﷺ). Allāh's Messenger ﷺ talked with his wife for a while and then went to bed. When it was the last third of the night, he got up and looked towards the sky and said: "Verily! In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding." (V.3:190) Then he stood up, performed ablution, brushed his teeth with a Siwāk, and then offered eleven Rak'a prayer. Then Bilāl pronounced the Adhān (i.e., call for the Fajr prayer). The Prophet ﷺ then offered two Rak'a (Sunna) Salāt (prayer) and went out (to the mosque) and offered the (compulsory congregational) Fajr prayer.
