Narrated Abdullah Bin Abbas: That once he stayed overnight in the house of his aunt Maimuna. the wife of the Prophet. He added: I lay on the cushion transversely and Allah Messenger ﷺ lay along with his wife in the lengthwise direction of the pillow. Allah Messenger ﷺ slept till the middle of the night; either a bit before or a bit after it; and then woke up rubbing the traces of sleep off his face with his hands and then he recited the last ten Verses of Surat AlImran; got up and went to a hanging water skin. He then performed the ablution from it; and it was perfect ablution; and then stood up to offer the prayer. I too did the same as he had done; and then went to stand beside him. Allah Messenger ﷺ put his right hand on my head and held and twisted my right ear. He then offered two rakat; then two rakat; then two rakat; then two rakat; then two rakat. then two rakat; and finally one raka; the witr. Then he lay down again till the Muadhdhin i.e. the call-maker came to him; whereupon he got up and offered a light two-rakat prayer; and went out to the Masjid and offered the compulsory congregational Fajr prayer.
