Narrated Abdullah ibn Masud: Alqamah and al-Aswad sought permission from Abdullah (ibn Masud) for admission, and we remained sitting at his door for a long time. A slave-girl came out and gave them permission (to enter). He (Ibn Masud) then got up and prayed (standing) between me (al-Aswad) and him (Alqamah). He then said: I witnessed the Messenger of Allah صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم doing similarly.
