Aswad says that once, at noon, I was present with my uncle in the company of Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). The prayer was established, so both of us stood behind him. Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) took hold of me with one hand and my uncle with the other hand and pulled us forward, until each of us was at a corner. Then he said that when there were three people, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also do the same.
