bukhari:859ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Sufyān > ʿAmr > Kurayb > Ibn ʿAbbās

One night I slept at the house of my aunt Maimuna and the Prophet ﷺ slept (too). He got up (for prayer) in the last hours of the night and performed a light ablution from a hanging leather skin. (ʿAmr, the sub-narrator described that the ablution was very light). Then he stood up for prayer and I got up too and performed the ablution in the same way and joined him on his left side. He pulled me to the right and prayed as much as Allah will. Then he lay down and slept and I heard his breath sounds till the Mu'adh-dhin came to him to inform him about the (Fajr) prayer. He left with him for the prayer and prayed without repeating the ablution. (Sufyan the sub-narrator said: We said to ʿAmr, "Some people say, 'The eyes of the Prophet ﷺ sleep but his heart never sleeps.' " ʿAmr said, "'Ubai bin ʿUmar said, 'The dreams of the Prophets are Divine Inspirations. Then he recited, '(O my son), I have seen in dream that I was slaughtering you (offering you in sacrifice).") (37.102)

bukhari:138ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Sufyān > ʿAmr > Kurayb > Ibn ʿAbbās

Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ slept till he snored and then prayed or probably lay till his breath sounds were heard and then got up and prayed.

Ibn Abbas added: I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt, Maymunah, the Prophet ﷺ slept for a part of the night, and late in the night, he got up and performed wudu from a hanging water skin, a light wudu and stood up for the prayer. I, too, performed a similar wudu, and then I went and stood to his left. He drew me to his right and prayed as much as Allah willed, and again lay and slept till his breath sounds were heard. Later on the Muadhdhin came to him and informed him that it was time for prayer. The Prophet ﷺ went with him for the prayer without performing a new ablution."

Sufyan said to Amr that some people said, "The eyes of Messenger of Allah ﷺ sleep but his heart does not sleep." Amr replied, "I heard Ubayd b. Umar saying that the dreams of Prophets are Divine Inspiration, and then he recited the verse: 'I see in a dream, that I am to sacrifice you." (Saffat 37:102)

It was short and performed with a little water.) I also got up and did the same as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had done. I then came (to him) and stood on his left. He then made me go around to his right side. He then observed prayer and went to sleep till he began to snore. Bilal came to him and informed him about the prayer. He (the Holy Prophet) then went out and observed the dawn prayer without performing ablution. Sufyan said: It was a special (prerogative of the) Apostle of Allah ﷺ for it has been conveyed to us that the eyes of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sleep, but his heart does not sleep.
