The Prophet ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) used to pray at night while I lay interposed between him and the Qibla like a corpse on the bier.

'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا 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 ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) like the bier of a corpse and …

It was mentioned before 'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا 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. …

The Messenger of Allah ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) said prayer and I (lay) opposite to him while I was in menses. Sometimes his clothes touched me when he prostrated.
