أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ وَهُوَ ابْنُ مُحَمَّدِ الدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَجِيدِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبَّادٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ حَدَّثَهُ

أَنَّ أَبَاهُ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بَعَثَهُ فِي حَاجَةٍ لَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَكَانَتْ مَيْمُونَةُ بِنْتُ الْحَارِثِ خَالَةَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا فَوَجَدَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَاضْطَجَعْتُ فِي حُجْرَتِهَا وَجَعَلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي أُحْصِي كَمْ يُصَلِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ فَجَاءَ وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعٌ فِي الْحُجْرَةِ بَعْدَمَا ذَهَبَ اللَّيْلُ فَقَالَ أَرَقَدَ الْوَلِيدُ فَتَنَاوَلَ مِلْحَفَةً عَلَى مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَ فَارْتَدَى بِبَعْضِهَا وَعَلَيْهَا بَعْضٌ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ حَتَّى صَلَّى ثَمَانِيَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ بِخَمْسٍ لَمْ يَجْلِسْ بَيْنَهُنَّ ثُمَّ قَعَدَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ لَهُ أَهْلٌ ثُمَّ أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الثَّنَاءِ وَكَانَ فِي آخِرِ كَلَامِهِ أَنْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا فِي قَلْبِي وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا فِي سَمْعِي وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا فِي بَصَرِي وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا عَنْ يَمِينِي وَنُورًا عَنْ شِمَالِي وَاجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَنُورًا مِنْ خَلْفِي وَزِدْنِي نُورًا

✧ His father, Abbas b. 'Abd al-Muttalib, sent him on an errand to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Maymunah bt. al-Harith was Ibn Abbas's maternal aunt. He entered upon her and found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque. Ibn Abbas said: I lay down in her room and resolved to count how many rak'ahs the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray. He said: He came while I was lying in the room after much of the night had passed, and said: "Has the boy gone to sleep?" Then he took hold of a wrap that was over Maymunah. He said: He put part of it over himself while part of it remained on her. Then he stood and prayed two rak'ahs, two rak'ahs, until he had prayed eight rak'ahs. Then he performed witr with five, not sitting between them. Then he sat and praised Allah as He is worthy, and he increased in praise. At the end of his speech he said: "O Allah, place light in my heart, place light in my hearing, place light in my sight, place light on my right, light on my left, place light in front of me, light behind me, and increase me in light."
