Ibn Abbas reported that he spent a night at the home of Maymunah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, who was his maternal aunt. He 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 a little before, or a little after. He woke up and sat wiping the sleep from his face with his hand, then he recited the last ten verses of Surah Al Imran. He then went to a hanging waterskin, performed his ablution from it thoroughly, and stood up to pray.Ibn Abbas said, "I got up and did just as he had done, then went and stood beside him. He placed his right hand on my head and took hold of my right ear, twisting it gently. He prayed two units, then two more, then two more, then two more, then two more, then two more, then prayed the witr. He then lay down until the caller to prayer came to him. He got up, prayed two light units, then went out and prayed the dawn prayer."
حدثنا إسماعيل قال حدثني مالك عن مخرمة بن سليمان عن كريب مولى ابن عباس أن
أخبره أنه بات ليلة عند ميمونة زوج النبي ﷺ وهي خالته 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 الخواتم من سورة آل عمران ثم قام إلى شن معلقة فتوضأ منها فأحسن وضوءه ثم قام يصلي قال ابن عباس فقمت فصنعت مثل ما صنع ثم ذهبت فقمت إلى جنبه فوضع يده اليمنى على رأسي وأخذ بأذني اليمنى يفتلها 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
