Sahih Muslim Book - 6, Hadith - 1789

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ لَيْلَةً عِنْدَ مَيْمُونَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ - وَهِىَ خَالَتُهُ - قَالَ فَاضْطَجَعْتُ فِى عَرْضِ الْوِسَادَةِ وَاضْطَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وَأَهْلُهُ فِى طُولِهَا فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- حَتَّى انْتَصَفَ اللَّيْلُ أَوْ قَبْلَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ اسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ النَّوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْعَشْرَ الآيَاتِ الْخَوَاتِمَ مِنْ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى شَنٍّ مُعَلَّقَةٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا فَأَحْسَنَ وُضُوءَهُ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى. قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُمْتُ فَصَنَعْتُ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثُمَّ ذَهَبْتُ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى رَأْسِى وَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِى الْيُمْنَى يَفْتِلُهَا فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى جَاءَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ.

It was narrated from Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, that Ibn 'Abbas told him that he stayed one night with Maimunah, the Mother of the Believers, who was his maternal aunt. "I lay down across the width of the mattress and the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and his wife lay along its length. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) slept until halfway through the night, or just before or after that. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) woke up and started wiping the sleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten verses of Surah AI 'Imran, then he got up and went to a water skin that was hanging there, and performed Wudu' from it, and did it well then he stood and prayed." ' Ibn 'Abbas said: "I got up and did what the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) had done, then I went and stood by his side. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) put his right hand on my head and took hold of my right ear and twisted it, then he prayed two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah then two Rak'ah, then he prayed Witr, then he lay down until the Mu'adhdhin came. Then he got up and prayed two brief Rak'ah, then he went out and prayed Subh."
