Mishkat al-Masabih — Hadith #48408

On the authority of Ibn Abbas, he said: I stayed with my aunt Maimuna for the night while the Prophet, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, was there. The Messenger of God, may God’s prayers and peace be upon him, spoke to his family for an hour, then he lay down, and when the last third of the night or part of it had passed, he sat down and looked at the sky and recited: (Indeed, in The creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day are signs for those of understanding.” Until he completed the surah, then he rose to the waterskin and released its noose. He poured it into the jar, then he performed a good ablution. Between the two ablutions, he did not do much, and he had reached it, so he stood up and prayed, so I stood up and performed ablution. So I stood to his left, and he took my ear and turned me to his right, and his prayer was completed with thirteen rak’ahs, then he lay down and slept until he blew and was When he slept, he blew and Bilal called him to prayer, so he prayed without performing ablution, and in his supplication he said: “O God, put light in my heart and light in my sight and “My hearing is light, and to my right is light, and to my left is light, and above me is light, and beneath me is light, and in front of me is light, and behind me is light, and make light for me.” Some of them added: “And on my tongue is light,” and he mentioned: “ And my sinews, and my flesh, and my blood, and my hair, and my skin) and in one of their narrations: “And put within me light and make the light greater for me.” And in another narration of theirs: To a Muslim: “Oh God, give me light.”
