[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying when two servant girls came and stood in front of him near his head. He gestured with his hands to move them away, one towards his right and the other towards his left.  

أحمد:٢٨٩٩حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ عَنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مِقْسَمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَجَاءَتْ جَارِيَتَانِ حَتَّى قَامَتَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَنَحَّاهُمَا وَأَوْمَأَ بِيَدَيْهِ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ يَسَارِهِ
