English translation
[1793] 186 - (...) It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbâs that he stayed overnight with his maternal aunt Maimûnah. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ got up at night and performed a light Wudû' from a hanging waterskin - and he described his Wudû', which was brief and that he used little water. Ibn 'Abbâs said: "I got up and did what the Prophet ﷺ had done, then I came and stood on his left, and he made me go behind him and stand on his right. He prayed, then he lay down and slept until he was breathing deeply. Then Bilâl came and called him to prayers, and he went out and prayed Subh and he did not perform Wudû.” Sufyân (one of the narrators) said: “This was only for the Prophet ﷺ, because we heard that the Prophet’s eyes slept but his heart did not sleep.”
