Home Hadith Hadith 139
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) proceeded from `Arafat till when he reached the mountain pass, he dismounted,
urinated and then performed ablution but not a perfect one. I said to him, ("Is it the time for) the
prayer, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "The (place of) prayer is ahead of you." He rode till when he
reached Al-Muzdalifa, he dismounted and performed ablution and a perfect one, The (call for) Iqama
was pronounced and he led the Maghrib prayer. Then everybody made his camel kneel down at its
place. Then the Iqama was pronounced for the `Isha' prayer which the Prophet (ﷺ) led and no prayer was
offered in between the two . prayers (`Isha' and Maghrib).

Ibn `Abbas said, "The Prophet (ﷺ) slept till he snored and then prayed (or probably lay till his breath
sounds were heard and then got up and prayed)." Ibn `Abbas added: "I stayed overnight in the house
of my aunt, Maimuna, the Prophet (ﷺ) slept for a part of the night, (See Fath-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 Mu'adh-dhin (call maker for the prayer) came to him and
informed him that it was time for Prayer. The Prophet (ﷺ) went with him for the prayer without
performing a new ablution." (Sufyan said to `Amr that some people said, "The eyes of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
sleep but his heart does not sleep." `Amr replied, "I heard `Ubaid bin `Umar 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)
