Kuraib, the freed slave of Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), narrates that I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), "How was the night prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite (Qur'an) in prayer in any of his blessed chambers, people outside the chamber would hear it."
