Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي الضُّحَى، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي وَسْطَ السَّرِيرِ، وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ تَكُونُ لِيَ الْحَاجَةُ، فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَقُومَ فَأَسْتَقْبِلَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ انْسِلاَلاً‏.‏

Translation

Qutaybah narrated to us: Jarir narrated to us, from al-Amash, from Abu al-Duha, from Masruq, from Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray in the middle of the bed while I lay between him and the qiblah. When I needed something, I disliked getting up to face him, so I would slip away quietly.
