[Machine] "He spent the night next to the Prophet ﷺ, and when he woke up from his sleep, he took his toothbrush (miswak) and used it, then performed ablution. While doing so, he recited the verse (In the creation of the heavens and the earth) [Al-Baqarah 2:164] until he finished reciting the entire chapter. Then, he performed two units of prayer (rak'ahs), prolonging his standing, bowing, and prostration. After that, he left until I heard the sound of snoring. Then, he woke up, used the toothbrush, performed ablution, and recited the same verse until he did that three times. He then performed an optional prayer of three units (rak'ahs), and Bilal the caller to prayer came to him. He went out for prayer while saying, 'O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light in front of me, light behind me, light to my right, light to my left, light above me, and light beneath me. O Allah, grant me immense light.'"
