When one of you prays, he should not let anyone pass in front of him; he should turn him away as far as possible; but if he refuses (to go), he should fight him, for he is only a devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 697)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ يُصَلِّي فَلَا يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلْيَدْرَأْهُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ  

When one of you prays, he should pray facing the sutrah (screen or covering) and he should keep himself close to it. He then narrated the tradition to the same effect. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 698)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ وَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ سَاقَ مَعْنَاهُ  

I narrate to you what I heard and saw from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: One day I was with Abu Sa'id and he was saying prayer on Friday turning to a thing which concealed him from the people when a young man from Banu Mu'ait came there and he tried to pass in front of him; he turned him back by striking his chest. He looked about but finding no other way to pass except in front of Abu Sa'id, made a second attempt. He (Abu Sa'id) turned him away by Striking his chest more vigorously than the first stroke. He stood up and had a scuffle with Abu Sa'id. Then the people gathered there He came out and went to Marwan and complained to him what had happened to him. Abu Sa'id too came to Marwan. Marwin said to him: What has happened to you and the son of your brother that he came to complain against you? Abu Sa'id said: I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: When any one of you prays facing something which conceals him from people and anyone tries to pass in front of him, he should be turned away, but if he refuses, he should be forcibly restrained from it, for he is a devil. (Using translation from Muslim 505b)   

بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ نُصَلِّي يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى شَيْءٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِذْ دَخَلَ شَابٌّ مِنْ بَنِي أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَدَفَعَ نَحْرَهُ فَنَظَرَ فَلَمْ يَرَ مَسَاغًا إِلَّا بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ فَأَعَادَ فَدَفَعَ فِي نَحِرِهِ أَشَدَّ مِنَ الدَّفْعَةِ الْأُولَى فَمَثُلَ قَائِمًا وَنَالَ مِنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ثُمَّ زَاحَمَ النَّاسَ فَخَرَجَ فَدَخَلَ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ مَا لَقِيَ قَالَ وَدَخَلَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عَلَى مَرْوَانَ فَقَالَ لَهُ مَرْوَانُ مَا لَكُ وَلِابْنِ أَخِيكَ جَاءَ يَشْتَكِيكَ؟ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ؓ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى شَيْءٍ يَسْتُرُهُ مِنَ النَّاسَ فَأَرَادَ أَحَدٌ أَنْ يَجْتَازَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَلْيَدْفَعْ فِي نَحْرِهِ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ  

[Machine] Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri used to pray, and a man from the family of Abu Mu'ayt passed by and he prevented him. But the man refused to stop, so Abu Sa'id threw him away. Marwan was the governor of Madinah at that time, so the man complained to him about what happened. Marwan mentioned this incident to Abu Sa'id, who said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'If something passes in front of one of you while he is praying, let him prevent it. And if it insists, let him fight it, for it is only a Shaytan (devil).' And I had forbidden him, but he refused to stop."  

أَنَّ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ ؓ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ آلِ أَبِي مُعَيْطٍ فَمَنَعَهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَنْتَهِيَ فَنَبَذَهُ فَأَبَى فَدَفَعَ فِي صَدْرِهِ وَمَرْوَانُ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَمِيرٌ عَلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ مَرْوَانُ لِأَبِي سَعِيدٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَحَدِكُمْ شَيْءٌ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَلْيَمْنَعْهُ فَإِنْ أَبِي فَلْيُقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ شَيْطَانٌ وَإِنِّي قَدْ كُنْتُ نَهَيْتُهُ فَأَبَى أَنْ يَنْتَهِيَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not pray except behind a barrier, and do not allow anyone to pass in front of you. If they refuse, then fight them because they have a companion with them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تُصَلُّوا إِلَّا إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ وَلَا تَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَقَاتِلْهُ فَإِنَّ مَعَهُ الْقَرِينُ  

The Prophet ﷺ was (once) praying. A kid went passing in front of him and he kept on stopping it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 709)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي فَأَرَادَ جَدْيٌ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يَتَّقِيهِ  

We came down from the mountain pass of Adhaakhir in the company of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The time of prayer came and he prayed facing a direction of prayer, and we were (standing) behind him. Then a kid came and passed in front of him. He kept on stopping it until he brought his stomach near the wall (to detain it), and at last it passed behind him, or as Musaddad said. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 708)   

هَبَطْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةٍ أَذَاخِرَ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَصَلَّى إِلَى جِدَارٍ فَاتَّخَذَهُ قِبْلَةً وَنَحْنُ خَلْفَهُ فَجَاءَتْ بَهْمَةٌ لَتَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَمَا زَالَ يُدَارِيهَا حَتَّى لَصَقَ بَطْنُهُ بِالْجِدَارِ وَمَرَّتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: "If one who passes in front of a man who is praying knew the responsibility he incurs, he would prefer to stand still for forty. . . rather than pass in front of him. Abu al-Nadr said: I do not know whether he said forty days, or months, or years." Abu Dawud: Sufyan al-Thawri said: If a man passes proudly in front of me while I am praying, I shall stop him, and if a weak man passes, I shall not stop him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 701)   

سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَارِّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمُصَلِّي؟ قَالَ أَبُو جُهَيْمٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمَارُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمُصَلِّي مَاذَا عَلَيْهِ لَكَانَ أَنْ يَقِفَ أَرْبَعِينَ خَيْرًا لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَنَةً  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked about the prayer garment during the Battle of Tabuk, and he said it is like the back of a saddle.  

سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةِ تَبُوكَ عَنْ سُتْرَةِ الْمُصَلِّي فَقَالَ مِثْلُ مُؤَخِّرَةِ الرَّحْلِ  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said: 'If one of you places something equal to the height of the saddle in front of him, it does not harm him who passes behind it.' And in the narration of Abu Abdullah, 'Let him pray and not be concerned about whoever passes behind it.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا وَضَعَ أَحَدُكُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلَ مُؤَخِّرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فَلَا يَضُرُّهُ مَنْ مَرَّ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ وَفِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَلَا يُبَالِي مَنْ يَمُرُّ وَرَاءَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] We were praying and the animals were passing in front of us, so we mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, "The rear end of the saddle should be in front of one of you, and what passes in front of him will not harm him."  

كُنَّا نُصَلِّي وَالدَّوَابُّ تَمُرُّ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مِثْلُ مُؤَخِّرَةِ الرَّحْلِ يَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ أَحَدِكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَضُرُّهُ مَا مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ  

The back of the saddle is (about) one cubit (in height) or more than that. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 686)   

مُؤَخِّرَةُ الرَّحْلِ ذِرَاعٌ فَمَا فَوْقَهُ  

[Machine] "Qatada was an arm's length and a span."  

عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ذِرَاعٌ وَشِبْرٌ  

"The Prophet ﷺ used to make his she-camel sit across and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra)." I asked, "What would the Prophet ﷺ do if the she-camel was provoked and moved?" He said, "He would take its camel-saddle and put it in front of him and pray facing its back part (as a Sutra). And Ibn ʿUmar used to do the same." (This indicates that one should not pray except behind a Sutra). (Using translation from Bukhārī 507)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُعَرِّضُ رَاحِلَتَهُ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا قُلْتُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا ذَهَبَتِ الرِّكَابُ؟ قَالَ كَانَ يَأْخُذُ الرَّحْلَ فَيُعَدِّلُهُ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَى آخِرَتِهِ أَوْ قَالَ مُؤَخَّرَتِهِ  

[Machine] He used to pray towards his camel while it was positioned between him and the Qibla. And his saying, "Did you see from the statement of Ubaidullah to Nafi', 3461 Abu Amr Al-Adibi informed us that Abu Bakr Al-Isma'ili informed us that Yusuf bin Ya'qub Al-Hammadi mentioned the narration similar to the narration of Al-Muqri'. Sheikh Abu Bakr said it is likely that his saying, "Did you see from the words of Ubaidullah to Nafi'" is not from the words of Nafi' to Abdullah, and that is because Ibrahim bin Musa and Al-Qasim bin Zakariya informed me, they said Khalad bin Aslam narrated to us, he said Ubaidah bin Humaid narrated from Ubaidullah from Nafi' from Ibn Umar who said: The Messenger of Allah used to pray and position the camel's backside between him and the Qibla. Al-Qasim said in his narration: Ubaidullah said to me, I asked Nafi': What should one do if the camels go? He said: He used to position the backside of the saddlebag between him and the Qibla.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي إِلَى بَعِيرِهِ وَهُوَ مُعْتَرِضٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَقَوْلُهُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مِنْ قَوْلِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ لِنَافِعٍ 3461 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ أنبأ يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَمَّادِيُّ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْمُقْرِئِ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَوْلُهُ أَفَرَأَيْتَ مِنْ كَلَامِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ لِنَافِعٍ لَا مِنْ كَلَامِ نَافِعٍ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ مُوسَى وَالْقَاسِمَ بْنَ زَكَرِيَّا أَخْبَرَانِي قَالَا ثنا خَلَّادُ بْنُ أَسْلَمَ ثنا عَبِيدَةُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي فَيُعَرِّضُ الْبَعِيرَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ سَأَلْتُ نَافِعًا إِذَا ذَهَبَتِ الْإِبِلُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ كَانَ يُعَرِّضُ مُؤَخِّرَةَ الرَّحْلِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to command the warriors when he went out on the day of Eid, and it would be placed in front of him, and he would pray towards it with the people behind him. And he used to do this during travels, so the rulers thereafter adopted it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ أَمَرَ بِالْحَرْبَةِ فَتُوضَعُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا وَالنَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ وَكَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّفَرِ فَمِنْ ثَمَّ اتَّخَذَهَا الْأُمَرَاءُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was in Al-Abtah. Bilal came to him and called the adhan (call to prayer). The Prophet then called for water to perform ablution and he performed ablution. The people started coming to the Messenger of Allah to touch his ablution water and wipe themselves with it. Then Bilal brought a goat and walked with it alongside the Messenger of Allah. He (the Prophet) then established the prayer and performed two raka'at (units of prayer). And women, donkeys, and camels passed between his hands.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِالْأَبْطَحِ قَالَ فَجَاءَهُ بِلَالٌ فَآذَنَهُ بِالصَّلَاةِ قَالَ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَأْتُونَ وُضُوءَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَتَمَسَّحُونَ بِهِ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِلَالٌ الْعَنَزَةَ فَمَشَى بِهَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَقَامَ الصَّلَاةَ وَرَكَزَهَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَالَ وَالظَّعْنُ يَمُرُّونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْبَعِيرُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said for one of you to conceal his prayer, even if it is with an arrow.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لِيَسْتُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ صَلَاتَهُ وَلَوْ بِسَهْمٍ  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: 'Cover yourselves in your prayers, even if it is with an arrow.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ اسْتَتِرُوا فِي صَلَاتِكُمْ وَلَوْ بِسَهْمٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you prays, let him place something in front of his face. If he cannot find anything, then let him set up a stick. If he doesn't have a stick, then let him draw a line, and thus what passes in front of him will not harm him. And likewise..."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْعَلْ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ شَيْئًا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيَنْصِبْ عَصًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَهُ عَصًا فَلْيَخْطُطْ خَطًّا ثُمَّ لَا يَضُرُّهُ مَا مَرَّ أَمَامَهُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you prayer, let him place something in front of him. If he cannot find anything, then let him draw a line, and nothing that passes in front of him will harm him." And it was narrated by Humaid bin al-Aswad, from Ismail bin Umayyah, from Abu Amr bin Muhammad bin Huraith bin Sulaim, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ regarding the words of Bashr. Abu Hassan al-Muqri' informed us that Abu al-Hassan Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abdus read to him. Yusuf bin Ya'qub informed us that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr informed him. Humaid bin al-Aswad mentioned and narrated it. Wahib and Abd al-Warith narrated it from Ismail, from Abu Amr bin Huraith, from his grandfather Huraith. Abdur-Razzaq narrated from Ibn Juraij, who heard it from Ismail, from Huraith bin Ammar, from Abu Hurairah, in a shortened form. And Ibn Uyaynah narrated it in the narration of ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, and Humaidi, and a group of others. From Ismail bin Umayyah, from Abu Muhammad bin Amr bin Huraith, from his grandfather Huraith al-Udhri, from Abu Hurairah. Then it was narrated from him that he doubted it. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us that Abu al-Hassan Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abdus informed me about reciting it. He said: "I heard Uthman bin Said ad-Darimi saying: 'I heard Ali bin Abdullah bin al-Madini saying: 'Sufyan said in the hadith of Ismail bin Umayyah, from Abu Muhammad bin Amr bin Huraith, from his grandfather Huraith, from Abu Hurairah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'if one of you prays on uneven ground, let him place a staff in front of him.' Ali said: 'I said to Sufyan: 'They differ in this matter, some say Abu Amr bin Muhammad, and some say Abu Muhammad bin Amr.' Sufyan pondered for a while, then said: 'I only memorized it from Abu Muhammad bin Amr.' I said to Sufyan: 'But Ibn Juraij says Abu Amr bin Muhammad.' Sufyan remained silent for a while, then said: 'Abu Muhammad bin Amr or Abu Amr bin Muhammad.' Then Sufyan said: 'I considered him to be a brother of Amr bin Huraith, while Murrat al-Udhri said: 'Ali said: 'Sufyan said: 'A man from Basra, perhaps it is Abu Mu'adh.' He said: 'I met this man who narrated from Ismail.' Ali said: 'That was after the death of Ismail bin Umayyah.' So this sheikh sought him until he found him. Uthba said: 'I asked him about it, and he mixed it for me.' Sufyan said: 'We did not find anything that supports this Hadith, and nothing that we narrated from it contradicts it.' And there is nothing wrong with it in such a ruling if Allah wills and with His guidance."

[Machine] The son of Dawood is tall in height.  

ابْنُ دَاوُدَ الْخَطُّ بِالطُّولِ  

[Machine] About the script, he gestured to me like the great crescent.  

عَنِ الْخَطَّ فَأَوْمَأَ لِي مِثْلَ الْهِلَالِ الْعَظِيمِ  

[Machine] I used to come with Salmah to the mosque to pray beside the pillar that is near the Quran. I said, "O Abu Muslim, I see you seeking to pray beside this pillar." He said, "Indeed, I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ seeking to pray beside it."  

كُنْتُ آتِي مَعَ سَلَمَةَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ عِنْدَ الْمُصْحَفِ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ أَرَاكَ تَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَهَا  

[Machine] I did not see the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying to a stick, pillar, or tree except that he placed it on his right or left temple, and he did not stand facing it motionless. This is the wording of the hadith from Ad-Dimashqi and in the narration of As-Sughani. Al-Walid ibn Kamil Al-Bajali reported that Al-Muhallab ibn Hujr Al-Bahrani narrated to me and he said, "Dubaa'ah narrated to me, and he did not say Ibn Aswad."  

مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي إِلَى عُودٍ وَلَا عَمُودٍ وَلَا شَجَرَةٍ إِلَّا جَعَلَهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ أَوِ الْأَيْسَرِ وَلَا يَصْمُدُ لَهُ صَمَدًا لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ الدِّمَشْقِيِّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الصَّغَانِيِّ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْبَجَلِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي الْمُهَلَّبُ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْبَهْرَانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي ضُبَاعَةُ وَلَمْ يَقُلِ ابْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ  

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , when he would pray towards a curtain, he would place it on his right eyebrow or his left eyebrow without covering the middle. This was narrated by Muhammad ibn Hameer, Baqiyah ibn Al-Walid, and others from Walid ibn Kamil. Al-Miqdad said, and it is also narrated from Baqiyah in another narration, that Al-Miqdad is the most authentic. Allah knows best, and this hadith is specific to Walid ibn Kamil Al-Bajali Ash-Shami. Al-Bukhari said he has amazing knowledge, and Allah knows best."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ جَعَلَهَا عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ أَوْ حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ لَمْ يَتَوَسَّطْهَا وَرَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرَ وَبَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ كَامِلٍ فَقَالَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَقِيلَ عَنْ بَقِيَّةَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنْهُ الْمِقْدَامُ وَالْمِقْدَادُ أَصَحُّ فَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ وَالْحَدِيثُ تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ الْبَجَلِيُّ الشَّامِيُّ قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ عِنْدَهُ عَجَائِبُ وَاللهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ  

[Machine] There was a passage between the Prophet's mosque ﷺ and the sheep's pen.  

كَانَ بَيْنَ مُصَلَّى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَبَيْنَ الْجِدَارِ مَمَرُّ الشَّاةِ  

[Machine] Between the pulpit and the wall, there was only enough space for the passage of a sheep.  

لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَبَيْنَ الْحَائِطِ إِلَّا قَدْرُ مَمَرِّ الشَّاةِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said: "When one of you prays towards a screen, let him make it wide so that the Devil does not interrupt his prayer." Abu Dawud reported it and Waqid ibn Muhammad narrated it from Safwan, who narrated it from Muhammad ibn Sahl, who narrated it from his father or from Muhammad ibn Sahl, who narrated it from the Prophet ﷺ. And some of them reported it from Nafi' ibn Jubayr, from Sahl ibn Sa'd. There is a disagreement regarding its chain of narration.  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا لَا يَقْطَعِ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ وَاقِدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَوْ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَهْلٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ وَاخْتُلِفَ فِي إِسْنَادِهِ  

[Machine] "From the Prophet, ﷺ , he said: When one of you finishes praying, let him perform Tasleem (saying Salaam) because Satan disrupts his prayer. Al-Sheikh said that this was narrated by Dawud ibn Qays from Nafi' ibn Jubayr as a Marfoo' Hadith."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى شَيْءٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهُ لَا يَقْطَعِ الشَّيْطَانُ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَرَوَاهُ دَاوُدُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ مُرْسَلًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When one of you prays, let him pray towards a barrier and let him stand close to his barrier, for indeed, the Shaytan passes between him and it." The Shaykh said, "The chain of narrators has been established by Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah, who is a reliable authority."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ وَلْيَدْنُ مِنْ سُتَرْتِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا قَالَ الشَّيْخُ قَدْ أَقَامَ إِسْنَادَهُ سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ وَهُوَ حَافِظٌ حُجَّةٌ  

[Machine] "He ﷺ said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, from Mina to a non-walled area, I came riding on a donkey while at that time I was exhausted from tireless anticipation. I passed by some rows and descended from the donkey, letting it graze, and I entered among the people and no one objected to me."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِمِنًى إِلَى غَيْرِ جِدَارٍ فَجِئْتُ رَاكِبًا عَلَى حِمَارٍ لِي وَأَنَا يَوْمَئِذٍ قَدْ رَاهَقْتُ الِاحْتِلَامَ فَمَرَرْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ بَعْضِ الصَّفِّ فَنَزَلْتُ وَأَرْسَلْتُ الْحِمَارَ يَرْتَعُ وَدَخَلْتُ مَعَ النَّاسِ فَلَمْ يُنْكِرْ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , prayed in a void where there was nothing in front of him, and he had a witness with a more authentic chain of narration than this from Al-Fadl ibn Abbas, and he will mention it later, if Allah wills.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى فِي فَضَاءٍ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ شَيْءٌ وَلَهُ شَاهِدٌ بِإِسْنَادٍ أَصَحَّ مِنْ هَذَا عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَسَيَرِدُ بَعْدَ هَذَا إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ تَعَالَى  

[Machine] He heard his grandfather, Al-Muttalib ibn Abi Wada'ah, saying: "I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying towards the direction of the Bani Sahm gate while people were passing in front of him, with no barrier between him and the Tawaf."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ الْمُطَّلِبَ بْنَ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ يَقُولُ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي مِمَّا يَلِي بَابَ بَنِي سَهْمٍ وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الطَّوَافِ سُتْرَةٌ  

[Machine] I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying while the people were passing by. Sufyan said, "So I went to Kathir and asked him, 'Do you have a hadith that you narrate from your father?'" He replied, "I have not heard it from my father, but some of my family members narrated it from my grandfather Muttalib." Ali said, "I have not heard it from my father, but Shadid narrated it from Ibn Juraij." Abu Sa'id said, "Uthman Ibn Juraij, meaning the son of Juraij, did not memorize it." The Sheikh said, "It has been said that Ibn Juraij narrated it from Kathir, from his father Muttalib." And the narration of Ibn Uyaynah is better preserved.  

رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَذَهَبْتُ إِلَى كَثِيرٍ فَسَأَلْتُهُ قُلْتُ حَدِيثٌ تُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ أَبِيكَ؟ قَالَ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَبِي حَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِي عَنْ جَدِّي الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ قَوْلُهُ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ مِنْ أَبِي شَدِيدٌ عَلَى ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ عُثْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ جُرَيْجٍ لَمْ يَضْبِطْهُ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ وَقَدْ قِيلَ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنْ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَعْيَانُ بَنِي الْمُطَّلِبِ عَنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ وَرِوَايَةُ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ أَحْفَظُ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "The prayer of a man is cut off if there is no space in front of him equal to the width of the hindquarters of a woman, donkey, or a black dog." I asked, "O Abu Dharr, what about a white, red, or yellow dog?" He said, "O nephew, I asked the Prophet ﷺ as you asked me. He said, 'The black dog is a devil.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَقْطَعُ صَلَاةَ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ مُؤَخِّرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ فَمَا بَالُ الْأَسْوَدِ مِنَ الْأَبْيَضِ مِنَ الْأَحْمَرِ؟ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ  

[Machine] Cutting off a man's prayer is when there is a woman, a donkey, or a black dog in front of him. So I asked Abu Dharr: "What do you think about a black dog compared to a red dog or a white dog?" He replied: "O nephew, I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ just as you asked me, and he said: 'The black dog is a devil.'"  

يَقْطَعُ صَلَاةَ الرَّجُلِ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِثْلُ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَرَأَيْتَ الْكَلْبَ الْأَسْوَدَ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ الْأَحْمَرِ مِنَ الْكَلْبِ الْأَبْيَضِ؟ قَالَ قَالَ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي إِنِّي سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَمَا سَأَلْتَنِي فَقَالَ الْكَلْبُ الْأَسْوَدُ شَيْطَانٌ  

[Machine] "On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said: The prayer is cut off by a woman, a dog, and a donkey, and this is similar to the rear end of a saddle."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَيَقِي ذَلِكَ مِثْلُ مُؤَخِّرَةِ الرَّحْلِ  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The prayer is rendered invalid by a menstruating woman and a dog.' Yahya, who is Al-Qattan, said that no one narrated this hadith from Qatadah except Shu'bah. Yahya said, 'And I differentiate from him.' Ibn Abi 'Arooba and Hisham narrated it from Qatadah as Marfoo'ah (raised). Yahya said, 'I have been informed that Hammam entered between Qatadah and Jabir ibn Zaid Abu Al-Khalil.' Ali said, 'Hammam did not elevate the hadith.' The scholar (Imam Nawawi) said, 'And it has been established from Ibn Abbas that some of that does not invalidate the prayer, but it is disliked. This is indicated by his statement, 'The prayer is rendered invalid,' alongside his statement, 'it is disliked,' which implies that what is intended by cutting off is not invalidation. And it is narrated from another perspective from Ibn Abbas.'"  

ﷺ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَرْأَةُ الْحَائِضُ وَالْكَلْبُ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَهُوَ الْقَطَّانُ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ أَحَدٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ غَيْرُ شُعْبَةَ قَالَ يَحْيَى وَأَنَا أُفَرِّقُهُ قَالَ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ وَهِشَامٌ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ يَعْنِي مَوْقُوفًا قَالَ يَحْيَى وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّ هَمَّامًا يُدْخِلُ بَيْنَ قَتَادَةَ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ أَبَا الْخَلِيلِ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ وَلَمْ يَرْفَعْ هَمَّامٌ الْحَدِيثَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَالثَّابِتُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ لَا يُفْسِدُ الصَّلَاةَ وَلَكِنْ يُكْرَهُ وَذَلِكَ يَدُلُّ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ مَعَ قَوْلِهِ يَقْطَعُ عَلَى أَنَّ الْمُرَادَ بِالْقَطْعِ غَيْرُ الْإِفْسَادِ وَيُرْوَى مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ؓ  

[Machine] I think the Prophet ﷺ attributed this to Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) when he said, "The prayer is interrupted by a dog, a donkey, a menstruating woman, a Jew, a Christian, a Magian, and a pig." He said, "But it will suffice you if they are in front of you at the distance of a stone's throw and they do not interrupt your prayer." And Abu Ali Al-Rudhbari informed us that Muhammad ibn Bakr narrated to us that Abu Dawood narrated to us that Muhammad ibn Ismail al-Basri, a client of Banu Hashim, narrated to us that Mu'adh mentioned it in a similar way, except that he said, "I think it is from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." He said, "If one of you prays without a barrier in front of him, then his prayer is interrupted." He did not mention the Christian nor the menstruating woman. He said, "But if they pass in front of him at the distance of a stone's throw, he will be rewarded for it."  

أَحْسَبُهُ أَسْنَدَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ الْحَائِضُ وَالْيَهُودِيُّ وَالنَّصْرَانِيُّ وَالْمَجُوسِيُّ وَالْخِنْزِيرُ قَالَ وَيَكْفِيكَ إِذَا كَانُوا مِنْكَ عَلَى قَدْرِ رَمْيَةٍ بِحَجَرٍ لَمْ يَقْطَعُوا صَلَاتَكَ 3488 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيُّ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ ثنا مُعَاذٌ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَحْسَبُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِ السُّتْرَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ صَلَاتَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ النَّصْرَانِيَّ قَالَ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الْحَائِضَ قَالَ وَيُجْزِي عَنْهُ إِذَا مَرُّوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى قَدْرِ رَمْيَةٍ بِحَجَرٍ  

[Machine] I passed in front of the Prophet while riding a donkey and he was praying. He said, "O Allah, cut off his path." So, I did not walk over it after 3490. Abu Ali informed us that Abu Bakr narrated to us that Abu Dawood narrated to us that Kathir ibn 'Ubayd narrated to us that Abu Haywah narrated from Sa'id through his chain of transmission. And its meaning is the same. Abu Dawood said, and Abu Mus'hir also narrated from Sa'id, "He cut off our prayer, so Allah cut off his path."  

مَرَرْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَنَا عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَقَالَ اللهُمَّ اقْطَعْ أَثَرَهُ فَمَا مَشَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ بَعْدُ 3490 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ ثنا أَبُو حَيْوَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ فَقَالَ قَطَعَ صَلَاتَنَا قَطَعَ اللهُ أَثَرَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ قَطَعَ صَلَاتَنَا  

I relate to you a tradition, but do not narrate it to anyone so long as I am alive: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ encamped at Tabuk near a date-palm and he said: This is our qiblah (direction for praying). He then offered prayer facing it. I came running, when I was a boy, until I passed the place between him and the tree. He said (cursing): He cut off our prayer, may Allah cut off his walking. I could not, therefore, stand upon them(feet) till today. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 707)   

سَمِعْتَ أَنِّي حَيٌّ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ نَزَلَ بِتَبُوكَ إِلَى نَخْلَةٍ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ قِبْلَتُنَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى إِلَيْهَا قَالَ فَأَقْبَلْتُ وَأَنَا غُلَامٌ أَسْعَى حَتَّى مَرَرْتُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا فَقَالَ قَطَعَ صَلَاتَنَا قَطَعَ اللهُ أَثَرَهُ فَمَا قُمْتُ عَلَيْهَا إِلَى يَوْمِي هَذَا  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray his night prayer, and I was struggling between him and the direction of the qibla, like the movement of a funeral procession.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي صَلَاتَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا مُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ كَاعْتِرَاضِ الْجِنَازَةِ  

[Machine] "Indeed, woman is a source of evil. I saw myself standing in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , resembling a funeral prayer while he was praying."  

إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَدَابَّةُ سُوءٍ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مُعْتَرِضَةً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ كَاعْتِرَاضِ الْجِنَازَةِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray while I was sitting in front of him. Shu'bah said Sa'd narrated to me that she said, "And I was in a state of menstruation."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا مُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قَالَ سَعْدٌ وَأْحْسَبُهَا قَالَتْ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ  

ʿAisha the wife of the Prophet ﷺ said, "I used to sleep in front o Messenger of Allah ﷺ and my legs were opposite his Qibla and in prostration he pushed my legs and I withdrew then and when he stood, I stretched them.' ʿAisha added, "In those days the houses were without lights." (Using translation from Bukhārī 382)   

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَنَامُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَرِجْلَايَ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ فَإِذَا سَجَدَ غَمَزَنِي فَقَبَضْتُ رِجْلِيَّ فَإِذَا قَامَ بَسَطْتُهُمَا قَالَتْ وَالْبُيُوتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَصَابِيحُ  

[Machine] She said: "I used to object in front of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he prayed, and I would be in front of him. So when he wanted to pray Witr, he would say 'move aside'. 'Urwa reported from Aisha that when he wanted to pray Witr, he would wake me up and I would pray Witr. And that is the correct opinion."  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كُنْتُ مُعْتَرِضَةً فِي قِبْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَيُصَلِّي رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَا أَمَامَهُ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوتِرَ قَالَ تَنَحِّي وَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوتِرَ أَيْقَظَنِي وَأَوْتَرْتُ وَذَلِكَ أَصَحُّ  

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. So, I would slip away by the side of his feet." (Using translation from Bukhārī 514)   

وَذَكَرَ عِنْدَهَا مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ ؓ قَدْ شَبَّهْتُمُونَا بِالْحَمِيرِ وَالْكِلَابِ وَاللهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا عَلَى السَّرِيرِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ مُضْطَجِعَةٌ فَتَبْدُو لِي الْحَاجَةُ فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ فَأُوذِيَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ  

[Machine] It was said to her, "Indeed, some people say that prayer is invalidated by a dog, a donkey, and a woman." She said, "Should I not see them? They have distorted us (the women) with dogs and donkeys. And perhaps I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying at night while I am on the bed between him and the Qibla, and I have a need, so I would slide my legs from the side of the bed, out of dislike to face him directly."  

قِيلَ لَهَا إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الصَّلَاةَ يَقْطَعُهَا الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ قَالَتْ أَلَا أَرَاهُمْ قَدْ عَدَلُونَا بِالْكِلَابِ وَالْحَمِيرِ وَرُبَّمَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا عَلَى السَّرِيرِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَيَكُونُ لِي حَاجَةٌ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيِ السَّرِيرِ؛ كَرَاهِيَةَ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَهُ بِوَجْهِي  

[Machine] Did you all compare us to dogs and donkeys? I saw myself lying on the bed, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came and sat on the bed and prayed. I disliked moving so that I wouldn't disturb him, so I slid away from one side of the bed, until I slipped from under the quilt. Qutaibah said in his narration: Jarir reported from Mansur, who reported from Ibrahim, who said: Al-Aswad narrated from Aisha.  

أَعَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْكِلَابِ وَالْحُمُرِ؟ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مُضْطَجِعَةً عَلَى السَّرِيرِ فَيَجِيءُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَيَتَوَسَّطُ السَّرِيرَ فَيُصَلِّي فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَسْنَحَهُ فَأَنْسَلَّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَيِ السَّرِيرِ حَتَّى أَنْسَلَّ مِنْ لِحَافِي قَالَ قُتَيْبَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ ثنا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ قَالَ الْأَسْوَدُ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
