[Machine] "Some people say that prayer is interrupted by the presence of a dog, a donkey, or a woman. Aisha replied, 'You have wronged us by comparing us to dogs and donkeys. I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying opposite the bed while I was in between him and the Qibla (direction of prayer). And sometimes I would have a need, so I would move aside from the side of the bed, disliking to face him.'"

أَنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ عَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْكِلَابِ وَالْحَمِيرِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي مُقَابِلَ السَّرِيرِ وَأَنَا عَلَيْهِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَتَكُونُ لِي الْحَاجَةُ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلِ السَّرِيرِ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَهُ

The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him."

The things which annul prayer were mentioned before me (and those were): a dog, a donkey and a woman. I said, "You have compared us (women) to donkeys and dogs. By Allah! I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying while I used to lie in (my) bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I disliked to sit and trouble the Prophet.

It was mentioned before'A'isha that prayer is invalidated (in case of passing) of a dog, an ass and a woman (before the worshipper, when he is not screened). Upon this 'A'isha said: You likened us to the asses and the dogs. By Allah I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying prayer while I lay on the bedstead interposing between him and the Qibla. When I felt the need, I did not like to wit to front (of the Holy Prophet) and perturb the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and quietly moved out from under its (i. e. of the bedstead) legs.
