1207. It was narrated that 'Aîshah, may Allâh be pleased with her, said: "I knocked at the door when the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was offering a voluntary prayer. The door was in the direction of the Qiblah so he took a few steps to his right or left and opened the door, then he went back to where he was praying." (Da'îf)
1206 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ وَرْدَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بُرْدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ أَبُو الْعَلَاءِ، عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: «اسْتَفْتَحْتُ الْبَابَ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي تَطَوُّعًا وَالْبَابُ عَلَى الْقِبْلَةِ فَمَشَى عَنْ يَمِينِهِ أَوْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، فَفَتَحَ الْبَابَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى مُصَلَّاهُ»

There is dispensation in the performance of voluntary prayer. Even otherwise the Prophet's ﷺ blessed face did not turn from the Qiblah. Taking a step or two is permitted.
