It is narrated from the wife of the Messenger, Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: I used to sleep in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and my legs would be in the direction of the Qiblah. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) would go into prostration, he would press me and I would draw up my legs, then when he (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand up, I would stretch them out again. In those days, there were no lamps in the houses.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The meaning of the latter hadith in this chapter is that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam touched the body of his noble wife during prayer. If a husband touches his wife's body or kisses her, this does not affect the validity of ablution (wudu). However, if as a result of this, drops of pre-seminal fluid (madhi) are discharged, then this is a separate matter, and due to the discharge, the ablution will be nullified. In Surah An-Nisa, verse (43), the phrase {اَوْلٰمَسْتُمُالنِّسَائَ} refers to intercourse and sexual relations with wives, not merely touching them.
