SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) performing ablution, reciting verses from the Quran, and praying six rak'ahs with supplications to Allah for light.

'Abd Allah b. 'Abbas said that he slept with the Prophet . He saw that he (the Prophet) awoke, used tooth-stick, performed ablution, and recited: "In the creation of the heavens and earth" 3:190 to the end of the surah. Then he stood up and prayed two rak'ahs in which he prolonged the standing, bowing, and prostrations. He then uttered turned away and slept till he bagan to snore. This he did three times. This made six rak'ahs in all. He would use tooth-stick, then perform ablution, and recite those verses. He then observed the witr prayer. The version of 'Uthman has: with three rak'ahs. The mu'adhdhin then came to him and he went out for prayer. The version of Ibn 'Isa adds: He then observed witr prayer ; then Bilal came to him and called him for prayer when the dawn broke. He then prayed the two rak'ahs of the dawn prayer. He then went out for prayer. Then both the narrators were agreed: He began to supplicate saying: O Allah, place light in my heart, light in my tongue, light in my hearing, light in my eyesight, light on my right hand, light on my left hand, light in front of me, light behind me, light below me, O Allah, give me abundant light.
