973. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "I stayed overnight with my maternal aunt Maimunah, and the Prophet ﷺ got up during the night to perform prayer. So I got up and stood on his left. He took me by the hand and made me stand on his right." (Sahih)

Arabic text

973 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّوَارِبِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: بِتُّ عِنْدَ خَالَتِي مَيْمُونَةَ، فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ، فَقُمْتُ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي، فَأَقَامَنِي عَنْ يَمِينِهِ»

Commentary

a. If a person starts to pray alone but is later joined by another person, then it is allowed that the former makes the intention of leading the prayer as Imâm. b. Moving a little to the back or front, or to the right or left, according to the needs of the situation does not invalidate the prayer.
