Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Al-Abbas ibn Ma'ruf from Abdullah ibn Al-Mughira from Mu'awiyah ibn Wahb who said:
I heard Abu Abdillah
عليه السلام, peace be upon him, say, and He
عليه السلام mentioned the prayer of the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Allah
سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family. Imam
عليه السلام said: " A vessel of water for purification would be brought and placed covered near His
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم head, and His
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم siwak (tooth-stick) would be placed under His
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم bed. Then He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would sleep as long as Allah
سبحانه وتعالى willed. When He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم awoke, He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would sit and turn his gaze toward the sky, then recite the verses from (Surah Ale Imran) 'Indeed, in the creation of the heavens and the earth and the alternation of night and day' (Surah Al ‘Imran
3:190). Then He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would use the siwak and perform purification, then stand and go to the mosque and pray four rak'ahs, with his bowing and prostration proportionate to his recitation. He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would bow so long that it would be said, 'When will He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم raise his head?' And He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would prostrate so long that it would be said, 'When will he raise his head?' Then He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would return to his bed and sleep as long as Allah
سبحانه وتعالى willed. Then He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would awaken, sit, recite the verses from (Surah Ale Imran), turn His
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم gaze toward the sky, use the siwak, purify himself, and stand and go to the mosque and pray four rak'ahs as He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم had prayed before. Then He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would return to His
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم bed and sleep as long as Allah
سبحانه وتعالى willed. Then He
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم would awaken, sit, recite the verses from (Surah Ale Imran), turn His
صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم gaze toward the sky, use the siwak, purify himself, and stand and go to the mosque to pray the witr and the two rak'ahs, then go out to the (obligatory) prayer."
