Narrated Kuraib: Ibn 'Abbas(Razi Allah Anho) said, "The Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehi Wasallam) slept till He snored and then prayed (or probably lay till his breath sounds were heard and then got up and prayed)." Ibn 'Abbas (Razi Allah Anho) added: "I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt, Maimuna, the Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehi Wasallam) slept for a part of the night, (See Fateh-al-Bari page 249, Vol. 1), and late in the night, He got up and performed ablution from a hanging water skin, a light (perfect) ablution and stood up for the prayer. I, too, performed a similar ablution, then I went and stood on His left. He drew me to his right and prayed as much as Allah wished, and again lay and slept till his breath sounds were heard. Later on the Mua'dhdhin (callmaker for the prayer) came to Him and informed Him that it was time for Prayer. The Prophet (Sal Allaho Alehi Wasallam) went with him for the prayer without performing a new ablution." (Sufyan (Razi Allah Anho) said to 'Amr (Razi Allah Anho) that some people said, "The eyes of Allah's Apostle (Sal Allaho Alehi Wasallam) sleep but his heart does not sleep." 'Amr (Razi Allah Anho) replied, "I heard 'Ubaid bin 'Umar (Razi Allah Anho) saying that the dreams of Prophets were Divine Inspiration, and then he recited the verse: 'I (Abraham) see in a dream, (O my son) that I offer you in sacrifice (to Allah)." (37.102) (See Hadith No. 183)
