Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 302-309

Chapter 31: Lying in Front of One Who Is Praying.

'A'isha reported:

The Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray at night while I lay interposed between him and the Qibla like a corpse on the bier. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 302)

'A'isha reported:

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said his whole prayer (Tahajjud prayer) during the night while I lay between him and the Qibla. When he intended to say Witr (prayer) he awakened me and I too said witr (prayer). (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 303)

'Urwa b. Zubair reported:

'A'isha asked: What disrupts the prayer? We said: The woman and the ass. Upon this she remarked: Is the woman an ugly animal? I lay in front of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) like the bier of a corpse and he said prayer. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 304)

Masruq reported:

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. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 305)

Al-Aswad reported that 'A'isha said:

You have made us equal to the dogs and the asses, whereas I lay on the bedstead and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came there and stood in the middle of the bedstead and said prayer. I did not like to take off the quilt from me (in that state), so I moved away quietly from the front legs of the bedstead and thus came out of the quilt. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 306)

'A'isha reported:

I was sleeping in front of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with my legs between him and the Qibla. When he prostrated himself, he pinched me and I drew up my legs, and when he stood up, I stretched them out. She said: At that time there were no lamps in the houses. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 307)

Maimuna, the wife of the Apostle (ﷺ), reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said prayer and I (lay) opposite to him while I was in menses. Sometimes his clothes touched me when he prostrated. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 308)

'A'isha reported:

The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said prayer at night and I was by his side in a state of menses and I had a sheet pulled over me a portion of which was on his side. (Explaining Sahih Muslim Book 4 – Hadith 309)
