Sahih al-Bukhari 515 (Book 8, Hadith 162) #498
Praying in the Night

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) used to get up at night and pray while his wife, Aisha, would lie between him and the Qibla.

Narrated 'Aisha: (the wife of the Prophet) Allah's Messenger used to get up at night and pray while I used to lie across between him and the Qibla on his family's bed.
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَخِي ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ عَمَّهُ عَنِ الصَّلاَةِ، يَقْطَعُهَا شَىْءٌ فَقَالَ لاَ يَقْطَعُهَا شَىْءٌ، أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجَ النَّبِيِّ قَالَتْ لَقَدْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، وَإِنِّي لَمُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَهْلِهِ‏.‏
