Ibn `Abbas reported: I slept one night in the house of Maimuna when the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was there, with a view to seeing the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) at night. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) entered into conversation with his wife for a short while, and then went to sleep, and the rest of the hadith is the same and in it mention is made of: He then got up, performed ablution and brushed his teeth.

He (the Holy Prophet) got up, brushed his teeth and performed ablution and said: In the creation of the heavens and the earth, and the alternation of the night and the day, there are indeed signs for people of understanding (al-Qur'an, iii. 190), to the end of the Surah. He then stood up and prayed two rak`ahs, standing, bowing and prostrating himself at length in them. Then he finished, went to sleep and snored. He did that three times, six rak`ahs altogether, each time cleaning his teeth, performing ablution, and reciting these verses. Then he observed three rak`ahs of Witr. The Mu'adhdhin then pronounced the Adhan and he went out for prayer and was saying: O Allah! place light in my heart, light in my tongue, place light in my hearing, place light in my eyesight, place light behind me, and light in front of me, and place light above me, and light below me. O Allah! grant me light.

The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood by the water-skin and performed ablution and then stood up and prayed. I also got up when I saw him doing that. I also performed ablution from the water-skin and then stood at his left side. He took hold of my hand from behind his back and then turned me from his back to his right side. I (`Ata', one of the narrators) said: Did it concern the voluntary prayer (at night)? He (Ibn `Abbas) said: Yes.
