حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَی عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الْقَاسِمَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ بِئْسَمَا عَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْحِمَارِ وَالْکَلْبِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا مُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ غَمَزَ رِجْلِي فَضَمَمْتُهَا إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 712
Aishah said: I used to sleep with my legs in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he would offer his prayer at night (i. e. tahajjud prayer offered towards the end of the night. ). When he prostrated himself he struck my legs, and I drew them up and he then prostrated.
