Volume 8, Book 75, Number 328:
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,

blood, my hair and my body,’ and he also mentioned two other things.”

Volume 8, Book 74, Number 260:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
I have not seen a thing resembling ‘lamam’ (minor sins) than what Abu Huraira ‘narrated from the
Prophet who said “Allah has written for Adam’s son his share of adultery which he commits inevit –
ably. The adultery of the eyes is the sight (to gaze at a forbidden thing), the adultery of the tongue is
the talk, and the inner self wishes and desires and the private parts testify all this or deny it.”
