Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): I spent one night at the house of my maternal aunt, Umm al-Mu’minin, Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). During the night, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) got up and relieved himself, that is, urinated. Then he washed his hands and face and went back to sleep. Then he got up and came to the water-skin, untied its strap, and performed a moderate ablution. He did not use much water, but he completed the ablution thoroughly and started praying. I got up and stretched, fearing that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) might see me and think that I was awake and watching him. I performed ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was still standing and praying, so I stood on his left side. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) took me by the hand and moved me to his right side, until he completed thirteen rak‘ahs of his night prayer. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) lay down and slept until he began to snore. And when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) slept, he would snore. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) informed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the Fajr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led the prayer but did not perform ablution again. Among the supplications of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) were these words: «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا، وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَسَارِي نُورًا، وَفَوْقِي نُورًا، وَتَحْتِي نُورًا، وَأَمَامِي نُورًا، وَخَلْفِي نُورًا، وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا» “O Allah! Place light in my heart, place light in my ears, place light on my right side, and place light on my left side, place light above me, below me, in front of me, and behind me, and make for me a great light.”Kurayb (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Seven things (are written) in the chest (box) with me. I do not remember. Then I met someone from the descendants of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he told me those things. They were: Place light in my muscles, my flesh, my blood, my hair, and my skin, and he mentioned two more things.
