حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ - وَهُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بِتُّ فِى بَيْتِ خَالَتِى مَيْمُونَةَ فَبَقَيْتُ كَيْفَ يُصَلِّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- - قَالَ - فَقَامَ فَبَالَ ثُمَّ غَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ وَكَفَّيْهِ ثُمَّ نَامَ ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى الْقِرْبَةِ فَأَطْلَقَ شِنَاقَهَا ثُمَّ صَبَّ فِى الْجَفْنَةِ أَوِ الْقَصْعَةِ فَأَكَبَّهُ بِيَدِهِ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ وُضُوءًا حَسَنًا بَيْنَ الْوُضُوءَيْنِ ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّى فَجِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ - قَالَ - فَأَخَذَنِى فَأَقَامَنِى عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَتَكَامَلَتْ صَلاَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ثَلاَثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ نَامَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ وَكُنَّا نَعْرِفُهُ إِذَا نَامَ بِنَفْخِهِ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ فَصَلَّى فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ فِى صَلاَتِهِ أَوْ فِى سُجُودِهِ « اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِى قَلْبِى نُورًا وَفِى سَمْعِى نُورًا وَفِى بَصَرِى نُورًا وَعَنْ يَمِينِى نُورًا وَعَنْ شِمَالِى نُورًا وَأَمَامِى نُورًا وَخَلْفِى نُورًا وَفَوْقِى نُورًا وَتَحْتِى نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ لِى نُورًا أَوْ قَالَ وَاجْعَلْنِى نُورًا ».

It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbas said: "I stayed overnight in the house of my maternal aunt Maimunah, and I watched to see how the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) would pray. He got up, urinated, then washed his face and hands, then he slept. Then he got up and went to a water skin, undid its straps, and poured some water into a bowl or vessel. He tipped it towards himself with his hand and performed Wudu' well, a Wudu' that was somewhere between the most perfect and the most light. Then I came and stood beside him, and stood on his left. He took hold of me and made me stand on his right. The prayer of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) included thirteen Rak'ah, then he slept until he was breathing deeply. We knew that when he slept he breathed deeply. Then he went out to pray, and he prayed, and said in his prayer, or in his prostration: 'Allahummaj'al fi qalb'i nuran, wa fi sam'i nuran wa fi basari nuran wa 'an yam'in'i nuran wa 'an shimal'i nuran wa amam'i nuran wa khalfi nuran wa fawqi nuran wa taht'i nuran waj'al li nura (O Allah, put in my heart light, in my hearing light, in my seeing light, to my right light, to my left light, in front of me light, behind me light, above me light, below me light, give me light) - or he said: 'waj'alni nura (make me light.)"'
