Musnad Ahmad 3252

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that He stayed overnight with the Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) one night. The Prophet of Allah (ﷺ) got up during the night; he went out and looked at the sky, then he recited this verse in Al ‘Imran: “Verily, in the creation of the heavens and the earth - up to - glory to You! (Exalted are You above all that they associate with You as partners). Give us salvation from the torment of the Fire" (Al ‘Imran 3:190,191). Then he went back to the house; he used the miswak and did wudoo', then he stood and prayed, then he lay down. Then he went again and looked at the sky, then he recited this verse, then he used the miswak and did wudoo’ again, then he stood and prayed, then he lay down. Then he got up and went out and looked at the sky; then he recited this verse; then he used the miswak and did wudoo’, then he stood and prayed.
