I heard Ibn ‘Abbas saying that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed thirteen rak’ahs at night.
I performed Tamattu’ but the people dis- couraged me to do so. I came to Ibn ‘Abbas and asked him about it. He ordered me to do so. I came to the House (Ka’ba) and slept. I saw a visitant in the dream who said: ‘Umra is acceptable and so is the Hajj performed for God’s sake. I came to Ibn Abbas and informed him about that Which I saw in the dream whereupon he said: Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest This is the Sunnah of Abu’l-Qasim (the Holy Pro- phet) (ﷺ).
