443. It was narrated that Ibn 'Abbās said: "I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ one night, and I stood on his left, but he made me stand on his right, and he prayed. Then he reclined on his side and took a nap, then the Mu'adhhdhin came to him and he prayed, and did not perform Wudū'." (Sahīh)

Commentary
1. If there were a single male follower with the Imām (the prayer-leader), both would stand side by side, instead of one standing ahead and one behind. The Imām would stand on the left and the single follower would stand on the Imām's right.
2. The Prophet's ﷺ sleeping while lying down, and then not performing the ablution is specific to him.
