Beginning of the Musnad of Ibn Abbas
Musnad Abi Ya'la 2677 — he said: I mentioned the night prayer
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مَعْرُوفٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي مَخْرَمَةُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : فَذُكِرَتْ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ، قَالَ : نِصْفَهُ ، ثُلُثَهُ ، رُبُعَهُ ، فُوَاقَ حَلْبِ نَاقَةٍ ، فُوَاقَ حَلْبِ شَاةٍ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: I mentioned the night prayer (tahajjud), and some of those present related that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Standing in tahajjud may be) half the night, a third of it, a quarter of it, or the length of the interval between two milkings of a she-camel, or even the length of the interval between two milkings of a goat."
