Sahih Muslim Book - 6, Hadith - 1793

حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ - قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ - عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ عِنْدَ خَالَتِهِ مَيْمُونَةَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْ شَنٍّ مُعَلَّقٍ وُضُوءًا خَفِيفًا - قَالَ وَصَفَ وُضُوءَهُ وَجَعَلَ يُخَفِّفُهُ وَيُقَلِّلُهُ - قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَقُمْتُ فَصَنَعْتُ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَأَخْلَفَنِى فَجَعَلَنِى عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ فَنَامَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِلاَلٌ فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَخَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ. قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَهَذَا لِلنَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- خَاصَّةً لأَنَّهُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلاَ يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ.

It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas that he stayed overnight with his maternal aunt Maimunah. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) got up at night and performed a light Wudu' from a hanging water skin - and he described his Wudu', which was brief and that he used little water. Ibn 'Abbas said: "I got up and did what the Prophet (s.a.w) had done, then I came and stood on his left, and he made me go behind him and stand on his right. He prayed, then he lay down and slept until he was breathing deeply. Then Bilal came and called him to prayers, and he went out and prayed Subh and he did not perform Wudu'." Sufyan (one of the narrators) said: "This was only for the Prophet (s.a.w), because we heard that the Prophet's eyes slept but his heart did not sleep."
