The wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), says: I used to sleep in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and my legs would be in the direction of his Qiblah. When he would go into prostration, he would press me, so I would draw up my legs; when he would stand, I would stretch them out. In those days, there were no lamps in the houses.
