I spent a night in the house of my mother's sister Maimuna. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ got up for observing voluntary prayer (Tahajjud) at night. The Apostle of Allah ﷺ stood by the water-skin and performed ablution and then stood up and prayed. I also got up when I saw him doing that. I also performed ablution from the water-skin and then stood at his left side. He took hold of my hand from behind his back and then turned me from his back to his right side. I (ʿAta', one of the narrators) said: Did it concern the voluntary prayer (at night)? He (Ibn ʿAbbas) said: Yes.  

مسلم:٧٦٣mوَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنِي عَطَاءٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

بِتُّ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي مُتَطَوِّعًا مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الْقِرْبَةِ فَتَوَضَّأَ فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى فَقُمْتُ لَمَّا رَأَيْتُهُ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ مِنَ الْقِرْبَةِ ثُمَّ قُمْتُ إِلَى شِقِّهِ الأَيْسَرِ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِهِ يَعْدِلُنِي كَذَلِكَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِهِ إِلَى الشِّقِّ الأَيْمَنِ قُلْتُ أَفِي التَّطَوُّعِ كَانَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ نَعَمْ

[Machine] "At the house of my aunt Maymuna, the Prophet ﷺ stood up to pray voluntary prayers at night. The Prophet ﷺ then went to the water source to make ablution, and he stood up to pray. When I saw him do that, I also made ablution from the water source and stood up to the left of his row. He took me by my hand from behind my back and adjusted me just like that from behind my back to the right side."
