حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ عَنْ عَطَاءٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ أَتَى خَالَتَهُ مَيْمُونَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى سِقَايَةٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَصَلَّى قَالَ وَقُمْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَأَدَارَنِي مِنْ خَلْفِهِ حَتَّى أَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 2245
It was narrated from Ibn 'Abbas (RA) that he came to his maternal aunt Maimoonah, the wife of the Prophet (PBUH). He said; The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) got up at night, and went to a waterskin and did wudoo', then he stood and prayed. Then I got up and did wudoo', and I stood to his left. He took me by the hand and pulled me behind him, until he made me stand on his right.
