Narrated Ibn `Abbas:I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) talked with his wife for a while and then went to bed. When it was the last third of the night, he got up and looked towards the sky and said: "Verily! In the creation of the Heavens and the Earth and in the alteration of night and day, there are indeed signs for men of understanding." (3.190) Then he stood up, performed ablution, brushed his teeth with a Siwak, and then prayed eleven rak`at. Then Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call for the Fajr prayer). The Prophet (ﷺ) then offered two rak`at (Sunna) prayer and went out (to the Mosque) and offered the (compulsory congregational) Fajr prayer

حدثنا سعيد بن ابي مريم، اخبرنا محمد بن جعفر، قال اخبرني شريك بن عبد الله بن ابي نمر، عن كريب، عن ابن عباس رضى الله عنهما قال بت عند خالتي ميمونة، فتحدث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مع اهله ساعة ثم رقد، فلما كان ثلث الليل الاخر قعد فنظر الى السماء فقال {ان في خلق السموات والارض واختلاف ��لليل والنهار لايات لاولي الالباب}، ثم قام فتوضا واستن، فصلى احدى عشرة ركعة، ثم اذن بلال فصلى ركعتين، ثم خرج فصلى الصبح
