[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and headed to the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led the people in the last night prayer until there was no one left in the mosque except him. He then passed by me and asked, "Who is this?" I said, "Abdullah.” He said, "Where is his pillow?" I said, "Al-Abbas instructed me to spend the night with him." He said, "That is true." He then entered and said, "Spread a pillow for Abdullah." I brought him a pillow made of leather. Al-Abbas came forward to me and said, "Do not sleep until you have memorized his prayer." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then came forward and slept until I heard his snoring. He then sat up on his bed and raised his head to the sky and said, "Glory be to the Holy King," three times. He then recited the last verse of Surah Al-Imran {Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth...} He then stood up, performed ablution, and entered his prayer place. He performed two units of prayer that were neither short nor long, then returned to his bed and slept until I heard his snoring. He then sat up on his bed and recited what he had done in the first time, then he performed two units of prayer that were neither short nor long, and returned to his bed and slept until I heard his snoring. He then repeated what he had done previously and performed his Witr prayer. After he finished his prayer, I heard him saying, "O Allah, place light in my sight, light in my hearing, light on my tongue, light in my heart, light on my right, light on my left, light in front of me, light behind me, light above me, light below me, and make me a light on the Day of Resurrection. Grant me abundant light."
بِتْ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالنَّاسِ صَلَاةَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ حَتَّى لَمْ يَبْقَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِي فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قُلْتُ عَبْدُ اللهِ قَالَ «فَمَهْ؟» قُلْتُ أَمَرَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ أَنْ أَبِيتَ بِكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ قَالَ «فَالْحَقْ» قَالَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ دَخَلَ فَقَالَ «أَفْرِشُوا عَبْدَ اللهِ» فَأُتِيتُ بِوِسَادَةٍ مِنْ مُسُوحٍ قَالَ وَتَقَدَّمَ إِلَيَّ الْعَبَّاسُ لَا تَنَمْ حَتَّى تَحْفَظَ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَنَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ فَاسْتَوَى 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 السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ} ثُمَّ قَامَ ثُمَّ اسْتَنَّ بِسِوَاكِهِ وَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَيْسَتَا بِقَصِيرَتَيْنِ وَلَا بِطَوِيلَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَنَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَفَعَلَ كَمَا فَعَلَ فِي الْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ اسْتَنَّ بِسِوَاكِهِ وَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مُصَلَّاهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ لَيْسَتَا بِطَوِيلَتَيْنِ وَلَا قَصِيرَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ عَادَ إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَنَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ غَطِيطَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَفَعَلَ كَمَا فَعَلَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ أَوْتَرَ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «اللهُمَّ 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 لِي مِنْ أَمَامِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ خَلْفِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ فَوْقِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ مِنْ أَسْفَلِي نُورًا وَاجْعَلْ لِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ نُورًا وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًا»
