Volume 1, Book 4, Number 183:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas:
that 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 Apostle and his wife lay in the length-wise direc –
tion of the cushion. Allah’s Apostle 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 and
caught my right ear and twisted it. He prayed two Rakat then two Rakat and two Rakat and then two
Rakat and then two Rakat and then two Rakat (separately six times), and finally one Rak’a (the Witr).
