Sahih Muslim Hadith 1794 – The Prayer And

English

[1794] 187 – ( … ) It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbâs said: "I stayed overnight in the house of my maternal aunt Maimflnah, and I watched to see how the Messenger of Allah j would pray. He got up, urinated, then washed his face and hands, then he slept. Then he got up and went to a waterskin, undid its straps, and poured some water into a bowl or vessel. He tipped it towards himself with his hand and performed Wudâ' well, a Wudâ' that was somewhere between the most perfect and the most light. Then I came and stood beside him, and stood on his left. He took hold of me and made me stand on his right. The prayer of the Messenger of Allah included thirteen Rak'ah, then he slept until he was breathing deeply. We knew that when he slept he breathed deeply. Then he went out to pray, and he prayed, and said in his prayer, or in his prostration: 'Allâhummaj'al ft qalbI nâran, wa ft sam'I nâran wa ft basarl niran wa 'an yamInI L L5 Lc L nâran wa 'an shimâlI n6 ran wa amâmI nâran wa khalfi nâran wa L$ L j L 7i fawqI nâran wa taUI nisran waj'al L5i 'j Lc 11 nulrâ (0 Allah, put in my heart light, in my hearing light, in my ' seeing light, to my right light, to J'L , my left light, in front of me light, behind me light, above me light, below me light, give me light) – or he said: 'waj'alnI narâ (make me light.)"
