(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.
