Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the night prayer (i.e., Tahajjud prayer) while I would be lying between him and the Qiblah like a bier. In the narration of Makhzumi, there is this addition: Then when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to pray Witr, he would move me back with his foot.
