Ibn Abbas reported that he once spent the night at the house 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 a little before it, or a little after it, when he woke up and sat rubbing the sleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten verses of Surah Al Imran. Then he went to a waterskin hanging up and performed wudu from it, doing it well, and then he stood up to pray."Ibn Abbas continued, "So I got up and did just as he had done, then I 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. 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 caller to prayer came to him. Then he prayed two brief units and went out and prayed the dawn prayer."
و حدثني عن مالك عن مخرمة بن سليمان عن كريب مولى ابن عباس أن
أنه بات ليلة 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 معلق فتوضأ منه 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 أتاه المؤذن فصلى ركعتين خفيفتين ثم خرج فصلى الصبح
