Riyad as-Salihin 963 (Book 7, Hadith 8) #37452
Prophet Muhammad's Camping Habits

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would lie down on his right side when camping during a journey and raise his forearm before dawn.

Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: When the Messenger of Allah encamped at night during a journey, he would lie down on his right side, and when he stayed a little before dawn he would raise his forearm and place his head on the palm of his hand. Muslim.
وعن أبي قتادة، رضي الله عنه، قال‏:‏ كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، إذا كان في سفر، فعرس بليل اضطجع علي يمينه وإذا عرس قبيل الصبح نصب ذراعه، ووضع رأسه علي كفه‏"‏ ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏ قال العلماء‏:‏ إنما نصب ذراعه لئلا يستغرق في النوم، فتفوته صلاة الصبح عن وقتها أو عن أول وقتها‏.‏
