Hadith 55

حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَيْلَةَ خَالَتِهِ مَيْمُونَةَ , " فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَتَوَضَّأَ مِنْ شَنَّةٍ مُعَلَّقَةٍ " , قَالَ : فَوَصَفَ وُضُوءَهُ , وَجَعَلَ يُقَلِّلُهُ بِيَدِهِ , ثُمَّ قَامَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَصَنَعَ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , قَالَ : ثُمَّ جِئْتُ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ , " فَأَخْلَفَنِي فَجَعَلَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَصَلَّى , ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ فَنَامَ حَتَّى نَفَحَ " , ثُمَّ أَتَى بِلالٌ فَآذَنَهُ بِالصُّبْحِ , " فَصَلَّى وَلَمْ يَتَوَضَّأْ " . قَالَ سُفْيَانُ : لأَنَّهُ بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَتْ تَنَامُ عَيْنَاهُ وَلا يَنَامُ قَلْبُهُ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he spent the night at the house of his maternal aunt Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her), on the night when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was also with Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). During the night, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up and performed ablution from a hanging water-skin. The narrator says that Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) also described the manner of performing ablution and indicated with his hand that little water was used. Then Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) got up and performed ablution in the same way, and says: When I returned, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying. I stood on his left side, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of me from behind and turned me to stand on his right side. Then he prayed, then lay down until he began to snore. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came (and gave the call to prayer for Fajr) and informed him of the Fajr prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the prayer and did not perform ablution again. The hadith scholar Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) says: It has reached us that the eyes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sleep but his heart would remain awake.
