Narrated Ibn `Abbas:One night I slept at the house of Maimuna. The Prophet (ﷺ) woke up, answered the call of nature, washed his face and hands, and then slept. He got up (late at night), went to a water skin, opened the mouth thereof and performed ablution not using much water, yet he washed all the parts properly and then offered the prayer. I got up and straightened my back in order that the Prophet (ﷺ) might not feel that I was watching him, and then I performed the ablution, and when he got up to offer the prayer, I stood on his left. He caught hold of my ear and brought me over to his right side. He offered thirteen rak`at in all and then lay down and slept till he started blowing out his breath as he used to do when he slept. In the meantime Bilal informed the Prophet (ﷺ) of the approaching time for the (Fajr) prayer, and the Prophet offered the Fajr (Morning) prayer without performing new ablution. He used to say in his invocation, Allahumma ij`al fi qalbi nuran wa fi basari nuran, wa fi sam`i nuran, wa`an yamini nuran, wa`an yasari nuran, wa fawqi nuran, wa tahti nuran, wa amami nuran, wa khalfi nuran, waj`al li nuran." Kuraib (a sub narrator) said, "I have forgotten seven other words, (which the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned in this invocation). I met a man from the offspring of Al-`Abbas and he narrated those seven things to me, mentioning, '(Let there be light in) my nerves, my flesh, my blood, my hair and my body,' and he also mentioned two other things."

Sahih
Kurayb related that Ibn 'Abbas said, "I spent the night with Maymuna. The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, got up and went for a call of nature and washed his hands and face and then went to sleep. Then he got up, went to the waterskin, opened its mouth and then did a quick but complete wudu', not using a lot of water while doing it properly. He prayed. I got up and stood straight? not wanting for him to see that I was observing him. I did wudu'. He stood up to pray and I stood to the left of him. He took hold of my ear and moved me to his right side. He prayed a full thirteen rak'ats and then lay down and slept until he blew air as he used to do when he slept. Bilal gave the adhan for the prayer. He prayed without doing wudu'. He used to say in his supplication, 'O Allah, put light in my heart and alight above me, a light behind me, a light in front of me and a light behind me. Appoint alight for me.'" Kurayb said, "There were another seven words. I met a man from the descendants of al-'Abbas and he related them to me, mentioning, 'my sinews, my blood, my hair, and my skin and he mentioned two other things."
