Sahih Muslim 763a

Translation

I spent a night at my aunt Maymunah’s. The Prophet ﷺ got up during the night, relieved himself, then washed his face and hands, then went back to sleep. Then he got up, went to the water-skin, untied its mouthstring, then performed a wudu that was between the two wudus ˹light and heavy˺ without using much water, yet he did it thoroughly. Then he stood and prayed. I got up and stretched, not wanting him to think I had been watching him, and I performed wudu. Then he stood to pray, and I stood on his left. He took my hand and turned me to his right. The night prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ amounted to thirteen rakahs. Then he lay down and slept until he began to breathe heavily (snore), and when he slept he would breathe heavily. Then Bilal came to him and informed him that it was time for prayer. So he got up and prayed, and he did not perform wudu ˹again before the prayer˺. allāhumma ijʿal fī qalbī nūrā, wa-fī baṣarī nūrā, wa-fī samʿī nūrā, wa-ʿan yamīnī nūrā, wa-ʿan yasārī nūrā, wa-fawqī nūrā, wa-taḥtī nūrā, wa-amāmī nūrā, wa-khalfī nūrā, wa-ʿaẓẓim lī nūrā. And among his supplications was: “O Allah, place light in my heart, and light in my sight, and light in my hearing; and light on my right, and light on my left; and light above me, and light beneath me; and light in front of me, and light behind me; and make for me a great light.” Kurayb said: and seven ˹more˺ in the chest. I met one of al-Abbas’s sons, and he related them to me: he mentioned my spine, my flesh, my blood, my hair, and my skin, and he mentioned two additional qualities.
