169. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that 'Aishah said: "I noticed the Prophet ﷺ was not there one night, so I started looking for him with my hand. My hand touched his feet and they were held upright, and he was prostrating and saying: 'I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, in Your forgiveness from Your punishment, and I seek refuge in You from You. I cannot praise You enough, You are as You have praised yourself.'" (Sahih)
169 - أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَنُصَيْرُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: فَقَدْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَجَعَلْتُ أَطْلُبُهُ بِيَدِي فَوَقَعَتْ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُمَا مَنْصُوبَتَانِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ: «أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ، وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ»

1. All of the above-mentioned Ahādīth deal with the theme of the chapter. They make it clear that, while praying, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ touched 'Aishah ﷺ out of necessity and continued offering his prayer. Thus, when the Prophet ﷺ touched 'Aishah ﷺ or vice versa, the Prophet's ablution did not break, and his prayer did not become nullified. 2. Āishah ﷺ lying down in front of the Prophet ﷺ while he offered prayer was merely due to a lack of space. The place for sleeping was the place for offering prayer also. Because of a lack of space, because it was dark, and because he had no lamp, the Prophet ﷺ was forced to touch the person of Āishah ﷺ during his prayer.
