[Machine] I accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one night to the mosque and he performed the last Isha prayer until there was no one left in the mosque except him. He then passed by me and asked, "Who is this?" I replied, "Abdullah." He said, "Welcome." I said, "My father has commanded me to stay with you tonight." He said, "Really?" When he entered, he said, "Make way for the slave of Allah." I brought a cushion made of palm fibers for him. Abbas approached me and said, "Do not sleep until you have memorized his prayer." The Prophet ﷺ approached and slept until I heard him snoring. Then he sat on his bed and raised his head towards the sky and said, "Glory be to the Holy King" three times. Then he recited the following verse from the last part of Surah Al-Imran until the end, "Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth" (Quran 2:164). Then he stood up and performed ablution with his siwak, then he entered his prayer area and performed two units of prayer that were neither too short nor too long. He said, "I prayed" and then performed the Witr prayer. After completing it, I heard him saying, "O Allah, make light in my sight, make light in my hearing, make light in my tongue, make light in my heart, make light on my right, make light on my left, make light in front of me, make light behind me, make light above me, make light below me, and make the day I meet You a light-filled day. Make the light greater for me."
بِتُّ بِآلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْعِشَاءَ الْآخِرَةَ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» فَقُلْتُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَالَ «فَمَهْ» قُلْتُ أَمَرَنِي أَبِي أَنْ أَبِيتَ بِكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ «فَالْحَقْ» فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَ «افْرِشُوا لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ» قَالَ فَأُتِيتُ بِوِسَادَةٍ مِنْ مُسُوحٍ قَالَ وَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيَّ الْعَبَّاسُ أَنْ لَا تَنَامَنَّ حَتَّى تَحْفَظَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ فَقَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ «سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ حَتَّى خَتَمَهَا {إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ} [البقرة 164] ثُمَّ قَامَ فَبَالَ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَّ بِسِوَاكِهِ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مُصَلَّاهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَيْسَتَا بِقَصِيرَتَيْنِ وَلَا طَوِيلَتَيْنِ قَالَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي بَصَرِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي سَمْعِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي لِسَانِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ عَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ عَنْ شِمَالِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ أَمَامِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ خَلْفِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ فَوْقِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنِّي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ لِي يَوْمَ لِقَائِكَ نُورًا وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا»
