"إِذا كانَ أَحدُكُمُ ثم في الصَّلاةِ فوجَدَ حركة في دُبُرِه أَحْدَثَ أَو لمْ يُحْدِثْ فأشْكلَ عليه فلا ينْصرف حتَّى يسْمعَ صوْتًا أَو يجدَ ريحًا".

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If one of you is in prayer and feels movement in his behind, whether intentional or unintentional, he should not leave his prayer until he hears a sound or finds a smell.
