4570. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما (One night) I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimūna (the wife of the Prophet ﷺ), and said to myself, "I will watch the Salāt (prayer) of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ." My aunt placed a cushion for Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and he slept on it in its lengthwise direction (woke up) rubbing the traces of sleep off his face, and then he recited the last ten Verses of Sūrat Al-Imrān till he finished it. Then he went to a hanging water-skin and took it, performed the ablution and then stood up to offer the Salāt (prayer). I got up and did the same as he had done, and stood beside him (by his left side). He put his hand on my head and held me by the ear and twisted it (pulled me, and made me stand by
his right side). He offered two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a, then two Rak'a and finally the Witr (i.e., one Rak'a) Ṣalāt (prayer).
