حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ بَاتَ عِنْدَ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَامَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَخَرَجَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ الَّتِي فِي آلِ عِمْرَانَ { إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ سُبْحَانَكَ فَقِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ } ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ فَتَسَوَّكَ وَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى ثُمَّ اضْطَجَعَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَخَرَجَ فَنَظَرَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ فَتَسَوَّكَ وَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى
English Translation
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (رضي الله عنهما) — via Abu al-Mutawakkil — that he spent the night at the Prophet ﷺ's (ﷺ) house one night. the Prophet ﷺ of Allah (ﷺ) rose in the night, went out, and looked up at the sky, then recited this verse from [Surah] Al 'Imran: 'Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth...' until he reached: '...Glory be to You, so protect us from the punishment of the Fire [3:190-191].' He then returned to the house, used the siwak, performed wudu, stood and prayed, then lay down. Then he rose again, went out, looked up at the sky, and recited the same verse again. He then returned, used the siwak, performed wudu, stood and prayed.
