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 began wiping 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 excellently, then he stood up to pray."Ibn Abbas continued, "So I got up and did exactly as he had done, then I went and stood beside him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ 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, and then he prayed the witr. After that, he lay down until the muezzin came to him. He got up and prayed two light units, then went out and prayed the dawn prayer."
حدثنا قتيبة بن سعيد عن مالك عن مخرمة بن سليمان عن كريب مولى ابن عباس أن
أخبره 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 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 رسول الله ﷺ 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 جاءه المؤذن فقام فصلى ركعتين خفيفتين ثم خرج فصلى الصبح
