Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray on his bedding at home, and I would be lying between him and the Qiblah in such a way as a bier (for funeral prayer) is placed.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would continue to pray, and I would be lying across his bed in front of him. When he wished to perform Witr, he would wake me up as well, and I would also perform Witr.

Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that in the presence of Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), mention was made of those things which invalidate the prayer, namely a dog, a donkey, and a woman. Upon this, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "You have equated us with donkeys and dogs! By Allah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray while I would be lying on the bed between him and the Qiblah. If I needed something, and since I did not like to sit up in front of him (while he was praying) and thus cause him discomfort, I would quietly slip away from the side of his feet."

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that you people have made us women equal to dogs and donkeys, whereas I used to be lying on the bed and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would come and stand in the middle of the bed (or place the bed between himself and the Qiblah), then he would pray. I used to feel it improper to remain lying in front of him, so I would slip away from the foot of the bed and come out from under the blanket.

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I used to sleep in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and my feet would be in front of him (stretched out). When he would go into prostration, he would gently press my feet and I would draw them in, then when he stood up, I would stretch them out again. At that time, there were no lamps in the houses.

Sayyida Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to pray while I, despite being in menstruation, would be in front of him. Often, when he performed prostration, his garment would touch me.
