It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that sometimes when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would pray at night, I would be lying like a corpse between him and the Qiblah. Abu Umamah, who was sitting in that gathering with Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him), said, "O Abu Abdullah! Perhaps she said that I used to be at the Prophet’s side." Urwah said, "I am telling you with certainty, and you are rejecting it based on doubt. She indeed said that I used to be lying like a corpse in front of him."
