[Machine] I spent a night at my aunt Ma'imuna bint Al-Harith's house, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at her place that night. He got up to perform the night prayer, so I stood to pray behind him. He then took hold of a bedsheet that was either mine or placed on my head, until he made me stand to his right.

بِتُّ لَيْلَةً عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ بِنْتِ الْحَارِثِ وَرَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عِنْدَهَا فِي لَيْلَتِهَا فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ لِأُصَلِّيَ بِصَلاتِهِ قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِذُؤَابَةٍ كَانَتْ لِي أَوْ بِرَأْسِي حَتَّى جَعَلَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ

Once I stayed overnight in the house of my aunt Maimuna bint Al-Harith and Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with her as it was her turn. Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up to offer the night prayer. I stood on his left but he took hold of my two locks of hair and made me stand on his right. Narrated Abu Bishr: (the above Hadith) but he quoted: Ibn ʿAbbas said, (took hold of) my two braids on my head."
