English

[17891 182 – ( … ) It was narrated from Kuraib, the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbâs, that Ibn 'Abbâs told him that he stayed one night with Maimünah, the Mother of the Believers, who was his maternal aunt. "I lay down across the width of the mattress and the Messenger of Allah and his wife lay along its length. The Messenger of Allah slept until halfway through the night, or just before or after that. The Messenger of Allah woke up and started wiping the sleep from his face with his hand. Then he recited the last ten verses of Sarah Al 'Imrân, then he got up and went to a waterskin that was hanging there, and performed Wudâ' from it, and did it well, then he stood and prayed." Ibn 'Abbâs said: "I got up and did what the Messenger of Allah had done, then I went and stood by his side. The Messenger of Allah put his right hand on my head and took hold of my right ear and twisted it, then he prayed two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then two Rak'ah, then he prayed War, then he lay down until the Mu addhJn came. Then he got up and prayed two brief Rak'ah, then he went out and prayed Subh."
