Ibn Abbas reported that he spent the night at the home of Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who was his maternal aunt. He said, "I lay down across the width of the pillow, while the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his wife lay along its length. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept until the middle of the night, or shortly before, or shortly after. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ woke up, sat up, and wiped the sleep from his face with his hand. He then recited the last ten verses of Surah Al Imran. After that, he went to a hanging waterskin and performed ablution from it, doing so thoroughly, then stood up to pray."Ibn Abbas continued, "I got up and did exactly as he had done, then went and stood beside him. He placed his hand on my head, took hold of my right ear, and gently twisted it. Then he prayed two units, then another two, then another two, then another two, then another two, then another two, and then he prayed witr. Afterward, he lay down until the muezzin came to him. He then got up and prayed two brief units before going out to perform the dawn prayer."
قال قرأت على عبد الرحمن عن مالك عن مخرمة بن سليمان عن كريب مولى ابن عباس أن
أنه بات عند ميمونة زوج النبي ﷺ وهي خالته قال فاضطجعت في عرض الوسادة واضطجع رسول الله ﷺ وأهله في طولها فنام رسول الله ﷺ حتى إذا انتصف الليل أو قبله بقليل أو بعده بقليل استيقظ رسول الله ﷺ فجلس يمسح النوم عن وجهه بيده ثم قرأ العشر الآيات خواتيم سورة آل عمران ثم قام إلى شن معلقة فتوضأ منها فأحسن وضوءه ثم قام يصلي قال ابن عباس فقمت فصنعت مثل الذي صنع ثم ذهبت فقمت إلى جنبه فوضع يده على رأسي وأخذ أذني اليمنى ففتلها فصلى ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم أوتر ثم اضطجع حتى أتاه المؤذن فقام فصلى ركعتين خفيفتين ثم خرج فصلى الصبح
