[Machine] I go to my aunt Maymuna's house, and when the Prophet ﷺ prayed Isha, he returned to her and it was her night. He performed two rak'ahs and then laid down. He said, "Shall the boy sleep?" And I was listening, so he said in his prayer, "O Allah, put light in my heart, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light in my tongue, and give me light."  

الطبراني:١٢٤٧١حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا جَابِرُ بْنُ كُرْدِيٍّ ثنا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ثنا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ عَنْ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الرُّمَّانِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَلَمَّا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ ﷺ الْعِشَاءَ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهَا وَكَانَتْ لَيْلَتُهَا فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ فَقَالَ «أَنَامَ الْغُلَامُ؟» وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ فَقَالَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ «اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا وَفِي لِسَانِي نُورًا وَاعْطِنِي نُورًا»

[Machine] "On the night I stayed at my aunt Ma'muna bint Al-Harith's place, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ performed the night prayer (Isha') then returned to her. It was her night (i.e. his turn to spend the night with her). He performed two Rak'ahs (units of prayer) and then laid down and said, 'Does the young boy sleep while I am still able to hear him?' I replied, 'Yes.' He then said, 'I heard him say in his prayer, "O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light on my tongue, and make for me light upon light."' "
