Sahih al-Bukhari 6276 (Book 79, Hadith 50) #6029
Praying While Standing on a Bed

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) praying while standing in the middle of his bed and 'Aisha lying in front of him between him and the Qibla.

Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Messenger used to offer his prayer (while standing) in the midst of the bed, and I used to lie in front of him between him and the Qibla It I had any necessity for getting up and I used to dislike to get up and face him (while he was in prayer), but I would gradually slip away from the bed.
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي وَسْطَ السَّرِيرِ، وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ تَكُونُ لِيَ الْحَاجَةُ، فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَقُومَ فَأَسْتَقْبِلَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ انْسِلاَلاً‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks to us about how important prayer is for Muslims. The Prophet Muhammad PBUH used to pray while standing in the middle of his bed, showing us that even when we are not able to go to a mosque or other place of worship, we can still pray wherever we are. 'Aisha was also present during this prayer and she would lie down between him and the Qibla so as not to disturb him while he prayed. This shows us that it is important for us to be respectful when someone else is praying and not do anything that might distract them from their worship. It also teaches us that if we have any needs or necessities, it's okay for us to get up quietly so as not to disturb others who may be worshipping nearby.
