The above tradition has also been transmitted by Husain through a different chain of narrators in like manner. This version has the words: "And give me abundant light. " Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been transmitted by Abu Khalid al-Dalani from Habib and Salamah bin Kuhail from Abu Rishdin from Ibn Abbas in a similar manner.

Narrated Fadl bin Abbas: I spent a night with the Prophet ﷺ to see how he prayed. He got up, performed ablution and prayed two rak'ahs. His standing was like his bowing (i. e. equal in duration), and his bowing was like his prostration (equal in length). Then he slept. Afterwards he awoke, performed ablution, and used tooth-stick. He then recited five verses from Surah Al-Imran: "In the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day". He went on doing so till he prayed ten rak'ahs. He then stood up and prayed one rak'ah observing witr with it. In the meantime the muadhdhin called to prayer. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up after the muadhdhin had kept silent. He prayed two light rak'ahs and remained sitting till he offered the dawn prayer. Abu Dawud said: A part of the tradition transmitted by Ibn Bashshar remained hidden from me.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: I spent a night with my maternal aunt Maimunah. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came after the evening has come. He asked: Did the boy pray ? She said: Yes. Then he lay down till a part of night had passed as much as Allah willed; he got up, performed ablution and prayed seven or five rak'ahs, observing witr with them. He uttered the salutation only in the last of them.

Narrated Ibn Abbas: I spent a night in the house of my maternal aunt Maimunah, daughter of al-Harith. The Prophet ﷺ offered the night prayer. He then came and prayed four rak'ahs and slept. He then stood up and prayed. I stood at his left side. He made me go round and made me stand at his right side. He then prayed five rak'ahs and slept, and I heard his snoring. He then got up and prayed two rak'ahs. Afterwards he came out and offered the dawn prayer.

Saeed bin Jubair said that Ibn Abbas told him: He (the Prophet) got up and prayed eight rak'ahs in pairs, and then observed witr with five rak'ahs and he did not sit between them.

Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to pray thirteen rak'ahs, observing six rak'ahs in pairs including the two rak'ahs of dawn prayer. He would observe witr and five rak'ahs. He sat only in the last of them.

Narrated Aishah: The Prophet ﷺ used to pray thirteen rak'ahs during the night including the two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer.

Narrated Aishah: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ offered the night prayer and then prayed eight rak'ahs standing, and two rak'ahs between the two adhans (i. e. the adhan for the dawn prayer and the iqamah). He never left them. Jaf'ar bin Musafir said in his version: (He prayed) the two rak'ahs sitting between the two adhans. He added the word "sitting".

Abdullah bin Abi Qais said that he asked Aishah: How many rak'ahs would the Messenger of Allah ﷺ pray observing the witr ? She said: He used to observe the witr with four and three, six and three, eight and three, and ten and three rak'ahs never observing less than seven or more than thirteen. The narrator Ahmad added in his version: He would not observe the witr with two rak'ahs before the dawn. I asked: With what would he observe the witr ? She said: He would never leave it. The version of Ahmad does not mention the words "six and three (rak'ahs)".

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: Al-Aswad ibn Yazid said that he entered upon Aishah and asked her about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during the night.

His last prayer during the night was witr.
