Hadith 264
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ مَخْرَمَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ عِنْدَ مَيْمُونَةَ وَهِيَ خَالَتُهُ قَالَ: «فَاضْطَجَعْتُ فِي عَرْضِ الْوِسَادَةِ، وَاضْطَجَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي طُولِهَا، فَنَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَصَفَ اللَّيْلُ أَوْ قَبْلَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ بِقَلِيلٍ، فَاسْتَيْقَظَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَجَعَلَ يَمْسَحُ النَّوْمَ عَنْ وَجْهِهِ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْعَشْرَ الْآيَاتِ الْخَوَاتِيمَ مِنْ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ إِلَى شَنٍّ مُعَلَّقٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْهَا، فَأَحْسَنَ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ قَامَ يُصَلِّي» قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: " فَقُمْتُ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَوَضَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدَهُ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى رَأْسِي ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِأُذُنِي الْيُمْنَى فَفَتَلَهَا فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ - قَالَ مَعْنٌ: سِتَّ مَرَّاتٍ - ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ، ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ حَتَّى جَاءَهُ الْمُؤَذِّنُ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ خَفِيفَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَصَلَّى الصُّبْحَ "
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that he spent a night at the house of Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), and she was his maternal aunt. He says: I lay down across the bed, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) lay down lengthwise. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) slept until, when half the night had passed, or a little before it or a little after it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up and began to wipe away sleep from his face, and recited the last ten verses of Surah Al-Imran. Then he got up and went to a hanging water-skin and performed ablution from it thoroughly. Then he stood and began to pray. Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) says: I stood on his left side, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed right hand on my head, then took hold of my right ear and twisted it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) 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 Ma‘n says: He prayed two rak‘ahs six times, then prayed Witr. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) lay down until the mu’adhdhin came. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood and prayed two light rak‘ahs, then went out (to the mosque) and led the Fajr prayer.
