I came to my maternal aunt Maimoonah bint al-Harith and stayed overnight with her, and that happened to be her night with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed 'Isha', then he entered his house and lay his head on a pillow of leather stuffed with palm fibres. I came and lay my head on the edge of (that pillow). Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) woke up and looked, and realized that it was still night. He said tasbeeh and takbeer until he went to sleep. Then he woke up and half the night - or two-thirds of it - had passed. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) got up and relieved himself, then he came to a waterskin that was hanging on a hook. He rinsed his mouth three times, rinsed his nose three times, washed his face three times, washed his forearms three times each, wiped his head and ears, then he washed his feet. Yazeed said: I think he said: Three times each Then he went to his prayer-place. I got up and did what he had done, then I came and stood on his left, wanting to follow his prayer. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) waited until, when he realized that I wanted to follow his prayer, he reached behind him with his right hand, took hold of my ear and brought me round until he made me stand on his right. Then The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed two rak’ahs that lasted the remainder of the night. When he thought that dawn was at hand, he got up and prayed six rak'ahs, with Witr as the Seventh. Then when dawn broke he got up and prayed two rak'ahs. Then he lay down and slept, until I could hear him breathing deeply. Then Bilal came to him and told him it was time to pray, and he went out and prayed, and did not touch water. I said to Sa'eed bin Jubair: How good this is! Sa'eed bin Jubair said: By Allah, I said that to Ibn 'Abbas and he said: Stop; it is not for you and your companions. It is (only) for The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), because he was protected (i.e., he would not have passed wind in his sleep).
