-" كان يصلي قائما [تطوعا، والباب في القبلة] [مغلق عليه]، فاستفتحت الباب، فمشى على يمينه او شماله، ففتح الباب ثم رجع إلى مكانه".
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was standing and offering voluntary prayer. In the direction of the Qiblah (i.e., in front of him) there was a door, which was closed. When I requested for the door to be opened, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) moved forward from his right or left side, opened the door, and returned to his place.
