Chapter 8 · Prayers (Salat)اسْتِقْبَالِ الرَّجُلِ صَاحِبَهُ أَوْ غَيْرَهُ فِي صَلاَتِهِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي
A man facing his companion or someone else while he is praying
أَنَّهُ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهَا مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ فَقَالُوا يَقْطَعُهَا الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ. قَالَتْ قَدْ جَعَلْتُمُونَا كِلاَبًا، لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ يُصَلِّي، وَإِنِّي لَبَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ، وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، فَتَكُونُ لِي الْحَاجَةُ، فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَسْتَقْبِلَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ انْسِلاَلاً.

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ خَلِيلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ ـ يَعْنِي ابْنَ صُبَيْحٍ ـ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،
Translation
Aishah reported that the things that interrupt the prayer were mentioned in her presence, and they said, “The dog, the donkey and the woman interrupt it.” She said, “You have made us dogs! I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying while I was between him and the qiblah, lying on the bed. Then I would have a need, and I disliked facing him, so I would slip away quietly.”

Aischa berichtete, dass bei ihr erwähnt wurde, was das Gebet unterbricht, und man sagte: „Der Hund, der Esel und die Frau unterbrechen es.“ Sie sagte: „Ihr habt uns zu Hunden gemacht! Ich habe den Propheten ﷺ beten sehen, während ich zwischen ihm und der Gebetsrichtung (Qibla) war und auf dem Bett lag. Dann hatte ich ein Bedürfnis, und es war mir unangenehm, ihm mein Gesicht zuzuwenden, und so schlüpfte ich ganz sachte hinaus.“
Türkçe
Âişe (r.a.), yanında namazı neyin bozduğunun konuşulduğunu ve (orada bulunanların): “Namazı köpek, eşek ve kadın bozar” dediklerini rivayet etti. Âişe şöyle dedi: “Bizi köpek yerine koydunuz! Andolsun, Nebî'yi ﷺ namaz kılarken gördüm; ben de onunla kıble arasında yatağın üzerinde uzanmış bulunuyordum. Bir ihtiyacım olurdu da onun karşısına geçmekten hoşlanmaz, yavaşça sıyrılıp çıkardım.”
