Narrated Abu Juhaim: 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.

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَالِكٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ مَوْلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ بُسْرِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ زَيْدَ بْنَ خَالِدٍ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَرْسَلَهُ إِلَى أَبِي جُهَيْمٍ يَسْأَلُهُ مَاذَا سَمِعَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَارِّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمُصَلِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ أَبُو جُهَيْمٍ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ "لَوْ يَعْلَمُ الْمَارُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمُصَلِّي مَاذَا عَلَيْهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏لَكَانَ أَنْ يَقِفَ أَرْبَعِينَ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَرْبَعِينَ يَوْمًا أَوْ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَنَةً.

Hafs reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying, and the other version of this tradition transmitted through a different chain has: Abu Dharr said (and not the Prophet): If there is not anything like the back of a saddle in front of a man who is praying, then a donkey, a black dog, and a woman cut off his prayer. I asked him: Why has the black dog been specified, distinguishing it from a red, a yellow and a white dog? He replied: My nephew, I also asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the same question as you asked me. He said: The black dog is a devil.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Qatadah said: I heard Jabir ibn Zayd who reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas; and Shubah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: A menstruating woman and a dog cut off the prayer. Abu Dawud said: Saeed, Hisham and Hammam narrated this tradition from Qatadah on the authority of Jabir bin Zaid as a statement of Ibn Abbas.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ شُعْبَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا قَتَادَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ زَيْدٍ يُحَدِّثُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏رَفَعَهُ شُعْبَةُ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَرْأَةُ الْحَائِضُ وَالْكَلْبُ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَقَفَهُ سَعِيدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهِشَامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَهَمَّامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas: Ikrimah reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas, saying: I think the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw. Abu Dawud said: There is something about this tradition in my heart. I used to discuss it with Ibrahim and others. I did not find anyone who narrated it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who reported it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who related it from Hisham. I think the confusion is on the part of Ibn Abi Saminah that is, Muhammad bin Ismail al-Basri, the freed slave of Banu Hisham. In this tradition the mention of words "a Magian" is rejected; the mention of the words "at a stone's throw" and "a pig" is rejected. Abu Dawud said: I did not hear this tradition except from Muhammad bin Ismail bin Samurrah and I think he was mistaken because he used to narrate to us from his memory.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحْسَبُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِ سُتْرَةٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ صَلَاتَهُ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْخِنْزِيرُ وَالْيَهُودِيُّ وَالْمَجُوسِيُّ وَالْمَرْأَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَيُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ إِذَا مَرُّوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى قَذْفَةٍ بِحَجَرٍ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ شَيْءٌ كُنْتُ أُذَاكِرُ بِهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَغَيْرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا جَاءَ بِهِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ وَلَا يَعْرِفُهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ عَنْ هِشَامٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَحْسَبُ الْوَهْمَ مِنْ ابْنِ أَبِي سَمِينَةَ يَعْنِي مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيَّ مَوْلَى بَنِي هَاشِمٍ وَالْمُنْكَرُ فِيهِ ذِكْرُ الْمَجُوسِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَفِيهِ عَلَى قَذْفَةٍ بِحَجَرٍ وَذِكْرُ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَفِيهِ نَكَارَةٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ إِلَّا مِنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي سَمِينَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَحْسَبُهُ وَهِمَ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُنَا مِنْ حِفْظِهِ.

Yazid bin Namran said: I saw a crippled man at Tabuk. He (the man) said: I passed riding a donkey in front of the Prophet ﷺ who was praying. He said (cursing him): O Allah, cut off his walking. Thenceforth I could not walk.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَوْلَى يَزِيدَ بْنِ نِمْرَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ نِمْرَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا بِتَبُوكَ مُقْعَدًا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ مَرَرْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَا عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "اللَّهُمَّ اقْطَعْ أَثَرَهُ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَمَا مَشَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا بَعْدُ.

This tradition as also been reported by Saeed through the same chain of narrators and to the same effect. He added: He cut off our prayer, may Allah cut off his walking. Abu Dawud said: This version narrated by Mushir on the authority of Saeed has: He cut off our prayer.

حَدَّثَنَا كَثِيرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ يَعْنِي الْمَذْحِجِيَّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَيْوَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏بِإِسْنَادِهِ وَمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَطَعَ صَلَاتَنَا قَطَعَ اللَّهُ أَثَرَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو مُسْهِرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ فِيهِ:‏‏‏‏ قَطَعَ صَلَاتَنَا.

Saeed bin Ghazwan reported on the authority of his father that he made his stay at Tabuk (during his journey) for performing Hajj. All of a sudden he saw a crippled man and asked him about his condition. He said: 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.

Amr bin Shuaib reported from his father on the authority of his grand-father: 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.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ الْغَازِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ جَدِّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ "هَبَطْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ أَذَاخِرَ فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ يَعْنِي فَصَلَّى إِلَى جِدَارٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاتَّخَذَهُ قِبْلَةً وَنَحْنُ خَلْفَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَتْ بَهْمَةٌ تَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَمَا زَالَ يُدَارِئُهَا حَتَّى لَصَقَ بَطْنَهُ بِالْجِدَارِ وَمَرَّتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ"، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ.

Ibn Abbas said: The Prophet ﷺ was (once) praying. A kid went passing in front of him and he kept on stopping it.

حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَا:‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْجَزَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏"أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُصَلِّي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَذَهَبَ جَدْيٌ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ يَتَّقِيهِ".

Narrated Aishah, Ummul Muminin: I was sleeping in front of the Prophet ﷺ with my legs between him and the qiblah. Shubah said: I think she said: I was menstruating. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by al-Zuhri, Ata, Abu Bakr bin Hafs, Hisham bin Urwah, 'Irak bin Malik, Abu al-Aswad and Tamim bin Salamah; all transmitted from Urwah on the authority of Aishah. Ibrahim narrated from al-Aswad on the authority of Aishah. Abu al-Duha narrated from Masruq on the authority of Aishah. Al-Qasim bin Muhammad and Abu Salamah narrated it from 'Aishah. All these narrators did not mention the words "And I was menstruating. "
