حَدَّثَنَا وَاصِلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ فُضَيْلٍ عَنْ حُصَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِى ثَابِتٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ رَقَدَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَاسْتَيْقَظَ فَتَسَوَّكَ وَتَوَضَّأَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ (إِنَّ فِى خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَاخْتِلاَفِ اللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ لآيَاتٍ لأُولِى الأَلْبَابِ) فَقَرَأَ هَؤُلاَءِ الآيَاتِ حَتَّى خَتَمَ السُّورَةَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَطَالَ فِيهِمَا الْقِيَامَ وَالرُّكُوعَ وَالسُّجُودَ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ فَنَامَ حَتَّى نَفَخَ ثُمَّ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ كُلَّ ذَلِكَ يَسْتَاكُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ وَيَقْرَأُ هَؤُلاَءِ الآيَاتِ ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِثَلاَثٍ فَأَذَّنَ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَخَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ « اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِى قَلْبِى نُورًا وَفِى لِسَانِى نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِى سَمْعِى نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِى بَصَرِى نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ خَلْفِى نُورًا وَمِنْ أَمَامِى نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ فَوْقِى نُورًا وَمِنْ تَحْتِى نُورًا. اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِى نُورًا »

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas that he slept at the house of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). He (s.a.w) woke up, cleaned his teeth with the Siwak and performed Wudu' while saying: "Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth, and in the alternation of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding.", and he recited these verses until the end of the Surah. Then he stood and prayed two Rak'ah, in which he stood, bowed and prostrated for a long time. Then he went and slept until he started to breathe deeply. Then he did that three times, six Rak'ah in all, cleaning his teeth with the Siwak, performing Wudu' and reciting these verses. Then he prayed Witr with three Rak'ah. Then the Mu'adhdbin called the Adhan and he went out to pray, saying: 'Allahummaj'al fi qalbi nuran, wa fi lisani nuran waj'al fi sam'i nuran waj'al fi basari nuran waj'al min khalfi nuran wa min amami nuran waj'al min fawqi nuran wa min tahti nuran. Allahumma a'tini nura (O Allah, put in my heart light and on my tongue light, put in my hearing light, put in my seeing light, put behind me light and in front of me light, put above me light and below me light. O Allah, give me light.)"'
