Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas: That he spent a night with Maimunah, wife of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم, who was also his (Ibn Abbas's) maternal aunt. I lay towards the width of the pillow and the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم and his wife slept towards its length. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم slept. When half the night passed, or a little before it or a little after it, the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم awoke and began to rub his face (eyes) to remove the sleep. He then recited ten verses from the last part of Surah 'Al-Imran. Hen then came to a bag of water that was hanging. He performed ablution from it and performed his ablution well. He then stood up and prayed. I also got up and did as he did. I then went and stood at his side. The Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم placed his right hand upon my head and took me by my ear twisting it. He then prayed two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs, then two rak'ahs. The narrator al-Qanabi said: Six times. He observed the witr prayer, and then slept until the muadhdhin came. He got up and prayed two light rak'ahs and then came out and offered the dawn prayer.
