4.51 Lying In Front Of One Who Is Praying

٤۔٥١ باب الاِعْتِرَاضِ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ الْمُصَلِّي

(288) bukhari:383Yaḥyá b. Bukayr > al-Layth > ʿUqayl > Ibn Shihāb > ʿUrwah > ʿĀʾishah

Allah Apostle prayed while I was lying like a dead body on his family bed between him and his Qibla.  

(٢٨٨) البخاري:٣٨٣حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عُرْوَةُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أَخْبَرَتْهُ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي وَهْىَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ عَلَى فِرَاشِ أَهْلِهِ اعْتِرَاضَ الْجَنَازَةِ  

(289) bukhari:512Musaddad > Yaḥyá > Hishām from my father > ʿĀʾishah

The Prophet ﷺ used to pray while I was sleeping across in his bed in front of him. Whenever he wanted to pray witr, he would wake me up and I would pray witr.  

(٢٨٩) البخاري:٥١٢حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا رَاقِدَةٌ مُعْتَرِضَةٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوتِرَ أَيْقَظَنِي فَأَوْتَرْتُ  

(290) bukhari:514ʿUmar b. Ḥafṣ from my father > al-Aʿmash > Ibrāhīm > al-Aswad > ʿĀʾishah > al-Aʿmash > Muslim > Masrūq

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."  

(٢٩٠) البخاري:٥١٤حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ الأَعْمَشُ وَحَدَّثَنِي مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهَا مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَتْ شَبَّهْتُمُونَا بِالْحُمُرِ وَالْكِلاَبِ وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَإِنِّي عَلَى السَّرِيرِ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ مُضْطَجِعَةً فَتَبْدُو لِي الْحَاجَةُ فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ فَأُوذِيَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ  

(291) bukhari:508ʿUthmān b. Abū Shaybah > Jarīr > Manṣūr > Ibrāhīm > al-Aswad > ʿĀʾishah

Do you make us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys? While I used to lie in my bed, the Prophet ﷺ would come and pray facing the middle of the bed. I used to consider it not good to stand in front of him in his prayers. So I used to slip away slowly and quietly from the foot of the bed till I got out of my guilt.  

(٢٩١) البخاري:٥٠٨حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ

أَعَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْكَلْبِ وَالْحِمَارِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مُضْطَجِعَةً عَلَى السَّرِيرِ فَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَيَتَوَسَّطُ السَّرِيرَ فَيُصَلِّي فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُسَنِّحَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَىِ السَّرِيرِ حَتَّى أَنْسَلَّ مِنْ لِحَافِي  

(292) bukhari:513ʿAbdullāh b. Yūsuf > Mālik > Abū al-Naḍr a freed slave of ʿUmar b. ʿUbaydullāh > Abū Salamah b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman

the wife of the Prophet, "I used to sleep in front of Messenger of Allah ﷺ with my legs opposite his Qibla (facing him); and whenever he prostrated, he pushed my feet and I withdrew them and whenever he stood, I stretched them." ʿAisha added, "In those days there were no lamps in the houses."  

(٢٩٢) البخاري:٥١٣حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أَنَامُ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرِجْلاَىَ فِي قِبْلَتِهِ فَإِذَا سَجَدَ غَمَزَنِي فَقَبَضْتُ رِجْلَىَّ فَإِذَا قَامَ بَسَطْتُهُمَا قَالَتْ وَالْبُيُوتُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا مَصَابِيحُ  

(293) bukhari:379Musaddad > Khālid > Sulaymān al-Shaybānī > ʿAbdullāh b. Shaddād > Maymūnah

Maimuna said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying while I was in my menses, sitting beside him and sometimes his clothes would touch me during his prostration." Maimuna added, "He prayed on a Khumra (a small mat sufficient just for the face and the hands while prostrating during prayers).  

(٢٩٣) البخاري:٣٧٩حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَتْ

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا حِذَاءَهُ وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَرُبَّمَا أَصَابَنِي ثَوْبُهُ إِذَا سَجَدَ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الْخُمْرَةِ  

(386) bukhari:379Musaddad > Khālid > Sulaymān al-Shaybānī > ʿAbdullāh b. Shaddād > Maymūnah

Maimuna said, "Messenger of Allah ﷺ was praying while I was in my menses, sitting beside him and sometimes his clothes would touch me during his prostration." Maimuna added, "He prayed on a Khumra (a small mat sufficient just for the face and the hands while prostrating during prayers).  

(٣٨٦) البخاري:٣٧٩حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ عَنْ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ شَدَّادٍ عَنْ مَيْمُونَةَ قَالَتْ
