حَدَّثَنِي هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي قَالَ سَمِعْتُ قَيْسَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَطَائٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ بَعَثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ إِلَی النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ فِي بَيْتِ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَبِتُّ مَعَهُ تِلْکَ اللَّيْلَةَ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ اللَّيْلِ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَتَنَاوَلَنِي مِنْ خَلْفِ ظَهْرِهِ فَجَعَلَنِي عَلَی يَمِينِهِ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1801
Ibn `Abbas reported: I spent a night in the house of my mother's sister Maimuna. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) got up for observing voluntary prayer (Tahajjud) at night. The Apostle of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stood by the water-skin and performed ablution and then stood up and prayed. I also got up when I saw him doing that. I also performed ablution from the water-skin and then stood at his left side. He took hold of my hand from behind his back and then turned me from his back to his right side. I (`Ata', one of the narrators) said: Did it concern the voluntary prayer (at night)? He (Ibn `Abbas) said: Yes.
