Placing the hand under the cheek when sleeping

Is this correct?

“Place your [right] hand under your [right] cheek when sleeping as done by Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam)”

Answer:

Yes, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration. Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (radiyallahu ‘anhu) reports, “When Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) would retire to bed, he would place his [right] hand under his [right] cheek…”

(Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 6314. Refer: Fathul Bari, Hadith: 6314)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
