... And Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) was a man eager for knowledge and intelligent in his understanding of knowledge.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... And Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) was a man eager for knowledge and intelligent in his understanding of knowledge. He would follow the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and follow those who narrated from him. For this reason, he narrated a great deal from Ibn Abbas despite his young age.
He says after:
the Prophet (ﷺ) slept for a part of the night فقام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلّم من الليل
Sahih al-Bukhari 138
, and in some narrations:
That he was on one end of the mattress, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his family were on the other end أنه كان على طرف الوسادة ، ورسول الله صلّى الله عليه وسلم وأهله على الطرف الآخر
, he says:
got up at night and performed a short ablution (taking water) from the water-skin hanging there فقام فتوضأ من شن معلق وضوءا خفيفا
Sahih Muslim 763f
. The "shan" is old leather, the old skin of a sheep or goat. Generally, when it is old, it becomes cold. He says: Yes,
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 من شن معلق وضوءا خفيفا ، يخففه عمرو ويقلله ، وقام يصلي ، فتوضأت نحوا مما توضأ ، ثم جئت فقمت عن يساره
Sahih al-Bukhari 138
. He performed ablution similar to what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed, meaning a light ablution.
He says:
then I went and stood on his left فقمت عن يساره - وربما قال سفيان عن شماله -
Sahih al-Bukhari 138
and the meaning is the same,
He turned me and placed me to his right. Then he prayed as much as Allah willed, then he lay down فحولني فجعلني عن يمينه .
ثم صلى ما شاء الله ثم اضطجع
. And his saying:
and prayed as much as Allah will ثم صلى ما شاء الله
Sahih al-Bukhari 859
, it is possible that this is from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and that he sometimes generalizes and sometimes details it, because in Sahih Muslim he detailed it, saying:
observed a pair of rak`ahs, again a pair of rak`ahs, again a pair of rak`ahs صلى ركعتين ثم ركعتين ثم ركعتين وذكر إحدى عشرة ركعة
Sahih Muslim 763b
,
Then he lay down and slept until he snored, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to snore when he slept ثم اضطجع فنام حتى نفخ ، وكان النبي صلّى الله عليه وسلم إذا نام نفخ
meaning he made a sound, but it was not that annoying sound, but it became clear that he had slept, then the caller came to him until the end...
