English translation
[1789] 182 - (...) It was narrated from Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbâs, that Ibn 'Abbâs told him that he stayed one night with Maimûnah, the Mother of the Believers, who was his maternal aunt. "I lay down across the width of the mattress and the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and his wife lay along its length. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ slept until halfway through the night, or just before or after that. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ woke up and started wiping the sleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten verses of Sûrah Âl 'Imrân, then he got up and went to a waterskin that was hanging there, and performed Wudû' from it, and did it well, then he stood and prayed."
Ibn 'Abbâs said: "I got up and did what the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ had done, then I went and stood by his side. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ put his right hand on my head and took hold of my right ear and twisted it, then he prayed two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then he prayed Witr, then he lay down until the Mu'adhhdhin came. Then he got up and prayed two brief Rak'ah, then he went out and prayed Subh."

١٨٢ - (٧٦٣) حدثنا يحيى بن يحيى. قال: قرأت على مَالِكٍ عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ؛ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ؛ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ لَيْلَةً عِنْدَ مَيْمُونَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ. وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ. قَالَ فَاضْطَجَعْتُ فِي عَرْضِ الْوِسَادَةِ. وَاضْطَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طُولِهَا. فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى انْتَصَفَ اللَّيْلُ. أَوْ قَبْلَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ. أَوْ بَعْدَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ. اسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ النَّوْمَ
عَنْ وَجْهِهِ بِيَدِهِ. ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْعَشْرَ الآيَاتِ الْخَوَاتِمَ مِنْ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ. ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى شَنٍّ مُعَلَّقَةٍ. فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا. فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ. ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى.
قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَقُمْتُ فَصَنَعْتُ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. ثُمَّ ذَهَبْتُ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ. فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى رَأْسِي. وَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِي الْيُمْنَى يَفْتِلُهَا. فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ. ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ. ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ. ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ. حَتَّى جَاءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَقَامَ. فَصَلَّى ركعتين خفيفتين. ثم خرج فصلى الصبح.
