183. Narrated `Abdullah bin `Abbas: He stayed overnight in the house of Maimuna the wife of the Prophet, his aunt, he added: I lay on the bed (cushion transversally) while Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and his wife lay in the lengthwise direction of the cushion. Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) slept till the middle of the night, either a bit before or a bit after it, and then woke up, rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands. He then recited the last ten verses of Sura Al-`Imran, got up, and went to a hanging water-skin. He then Performed the ablution from it and it was a perfect ablution, and then stood up to offer the prayer. I, too, got up and did as the Prophet had done. Then I went and stood by his side. He placed his right hand on my head caught my right ear and twisted it. He prayed two rak`at then two rak`at and two rak`at and then two rak`at and then two rak`at and then two rak`at (separately six times), and finally one rak’at (the witr). Then he lay down again in the bed till the Mu’adh-dhin came to him whereupon the Prophet (peace be upon him) got up, offered a two light rak`at prayer, and went out and led the Fajr prayer. |
