رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: 992. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: Once I passed the night in the house of Maimūna (his aunt). I lay on the cushion transversally in its breadth-wise direction while Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and his wife lay in its length-wise direction. The Prophet ﷺ slept till midnight or nearly so and woke up rubbing his face and recited ten Verses from Sūrah Al-'Imrān. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ went towards a leather-skin and performed Wudū (ablution) in the most perfect way and then stood for the Ṣalāt (prayer). I did the same and stood beside him (on his left side). The Prophet ﷺ put his right hand on my head, twisted my ear (pulled me, and made me to stand by his right side), and then offered two (1) (Chap.1): Witr prayer: A prayer of an odd number of Rak'ā offered after Ishā prayer or after the Tahajjud (night) prayer, and it is to be offered before the Fajr prayer. Rak'ā five times and then ended his Ṣalāt with Witr. He laid down till the Mu'adh-dhīn (call-maker) came then he stood up and offered two Rak'ā (Sunna of Fajr prayer) and then went out and offered the Fajr prayer. (See Hadīth No. 183, Vol. I).
