Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
One night I slept at the house of Maimuna. The Prophet woke up, answered the call of nature,
washed his face and hands, and then slept. He got up (late at night), went to a water skin, opened the
mouth thereof and performed ablution not using much water, yet he washed al I the parts properly
and then offered the prayer. I got up and straightened my back in order that the Prophet might not
feel that I was watching him, and then I performed the ablution, and when he got up to offer the
prayer, stood on his left. He caught hold of my ear and brought me over to his right side. He offered
thirteen Rak’at in all and then lay down and slept till he started blowing out his breath as he used to
do when he slept. In the meantime Bilal informed the Prophet of the approaching time for the (Fajr)
prayer, and the Prophet offered the Fajr (Morning) prayer without performing new ablution. He
used to say in his invocation, Allaihumma ij’al fi qalbi nuran wa fi basari nuran, wa fi sam’i nuran,
wa’an yamini nuran, wa’an yasari nuran, wa fawqi nuran, wa tahti nuran, wa amami nuran, wa
khalfi nuran, waj’al li nuran.” Kuraib (a sub narrator) said, “I have forgotten seven other words,

dise; and if somebody recites it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be
from the people of Paradise.”
