Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَمُدُّ رِجْلِي فِي قِبْلَةِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، فَإِذَا سَجَدَ غَمَزَنِي فَرَفَعْتُهَا، فَإِذَا قَامَ مَدَدْتُهَا‏.‏

Translation

'Abdullah ibn Maslamah narrated to us; Malik narrated to us, from Abu al-Nadr, from Abu Salamah, from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), who said: I used to stretch out my legs in the direction of the Prophet's qiblah while he prayed. When he prostrated, he nudged me, so I withdrew them; when he stood, I stretched them out again.
