Abdullah bin Abbas reported that he spent the night at the home of Maymunah, the Mother of the Believers
, 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 Surat Al Imran. Afterwards, he went to a hanging waterskin and performed ablution from it, doing so beautifully, and then stood up to pray."Abdullah bin Abbas
continued, "I got up and did exactly as he had done, then went and stood at his side. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ placed his right hand on my head and took hold of my right ear, twisting it gently with his hand. He then prayed two units of prayer, then two more, then two more, then two more, then two more, then two more, and then he prayed witr. After that, he lay down until the caller to prayer came to him. He stood up and prayed two brief units, then went out and prayed the dawn prayer."
حدثنا عبد الله بن يوسف أخبرنا مالك عن مخرمة بن سليمان عن كريب مولى ابن عباس أنه أخبره
أنه بات عند ميمونة أم المؤمنين رضي الله عنها وهي خالته قال فاضطجعت على عرض الوسادة واضطجع رسول الله ﷺ وأهله في طولها فنام رسول الله ﷺ حتى انتصف الليل أو قبله بقليل أو بعده بقليل ثم استيقظ رسول الله ﷺ فجلس فمسح النوم عن وجهه بيده ثم قرأ العشر آيات خواتيم سورة آل عمران ثم قام إلى شن معلقة فتوضأ منها فأحسن وضوءه ثم قام يصلي قال عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما فقمت فصنعت مثل ما صنع ثم ذهبت فقمت إلى جنبه فوضع رسول الله ﷺ يده اليمنى على رأسي وأخذ بأذني اليمنى يفتلها بيده فصلى ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم أوتر ثم اضطجع حتى جاءه المؤذن فقام فصلى ركعتين خفيفتين ثم خرج فصلى الصبح
