Under this chapter, the following sub-chapters and hadiths have been mentioned.
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَامَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ يُصَلِّي فَقُمْتُ فَتَوَضَّأْتُ فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ فَجَذَبَنِي فَجَرَّنِي، فَأَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ فَصَلَّى ثَلَاثَ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً قِيَامُهُ فِيهِنَّ سَوَاءٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up at night and began to pray. I also got up, performed ablution, and stood on his left side. He, peace and blessings be upon him, pulled me and made me stand on his right side. He, peace and blessings be upon him, performed thirteen rak‘ahs of prayer, in which his standing (qiyam) was equal throughout.
Hadith 2616
(وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا) قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَصَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَجَرَّنِي فَجَعَلَنِي حِذَاءَهُ فَلَمَّا أَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى صَلَاتِهِ خَنَسْتُ فَصَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ لِي: ((مَا شَأْنِي أَجْعَلُكَ حِذَاءِي فَتَخْنِسُ؟)) فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! أَوَ يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ حِذَاءَكَ وَأَنْتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ، قَالَ: فَأَعْجَبْتُهُ، فَدَعَا اللَّهَ لِي أَنْ يَزِيدَنِي عِلْمًا وَفَهْمًا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَامَ حَتَّى سَمِعْتُهُ يَنْفُخُ ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ بِلَالٌ، فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ! الصَّلَاةَ، فَقَامَ فَصَلَّى، مَا أَعَادَ وُضُوءًا
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, in the last part of the night and began to pray standing behind him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, took my hand and pulled me to stand on his right side. Then, when the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, became engaged in his prayer, I moved back a little. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, completed the prayer, and when he finished, he said to me: What is the matter? I was making you stand on my right side, and you were moving back? I said: O Messenger of Allah! Is it befitting for anyone to stand equal to you in prayer, while you are the Messenger of Allah, to whom Allah has granted (so much)? When I said this, I amazed the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so he prayed for me that Allah increase me in knowledge and understanding. Then I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, that he slept, until I heard the sound of his snoring. Then Sayyiduna Bilal, may Allah be pleased with him, came and said: O Messenger of Allah! The prayer. So the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood up and prayed without performing ablution again.

عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي مَعَ الْإِمَامِ، فَقَالَ: يَقُومُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَقُلْتُ حَدَّثَنِي سُمِيعُ النَّجَّارُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَقَامَهُ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ، فَأَخَذَ بِهِ
A’mash says: I asked Ibrahim about the person who stands with the imam to pray. He said: He will stand on the left side of the imam. I said: Sumaiy Ziyad narrated to me from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made him stand on his right side. Then Ibrahim accepted this hadith.

عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَّى فِي ثَوْبٍ وَاحِدٍ، خَالَفَ بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ، فَقُمْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَأَخَذَ بِأُذُنِي فَجَعَلَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in a single garment, such that its two ends were wrapped from opposite sides.

Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) says: An object used to be placed in front of the prayer place of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), then he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would be praying and I would be in front of him.
