Chapter 8 · Prayers (Salat)مَنْ قَالَ لاَ يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ شَىْءٌ
Those who say that nothing interrupts the prayer
ذُكِرَ عِنْدَهَا مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ فَقَالَتْ شَبَّهْتُمُونَا بِالْحُمُرِ وَالْكِلاَبِ، وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي، وَإِنِّي عَلَى السَّرِيرِ ـ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ ـ مُضْطَجِعَةً فَتَبْدُو لِي الْحَاجَةُ، فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أَجْلِسَ فَأُوذِيَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رِجْلَيْهِ.

حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي قَالَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،. قَالَ الأَعْمَشُ وَحَدَّثَنِي مُسْلِمٌ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،
Translation
Aishah reported that the things that interrupt the prayer were mentioned in her presence: the dog, the donkey and the woman. She said, “You have likened us to donkeys and dogs! By Allah, I saw the Prophet ﷺ praying while I was lying on the bed – between him and the qiblah. Then I would feel a need, and I disliked sitting up and so disturbing the Prophet ﷺ, so I would slip away from by his feet.”

Aischa berichtete, dass bei ihr erwähnt wurde, was das Gebet unterbricht: der Hund, der Esel und die Frau. Da sagte sie: „Ihr habt uns den Eseln und den Hunden gleichgemacht! Bei Allah, ich habe den Propheten ﷺ beten sehen, während ich auf dem Bett – zwischen ihm und der Gebetsrichtung (Qibla) – lag. Dann überkam mich ein Bedürfnis, und es war mir unangenehm, mich aufzusetzen und so den Propheten ﷺ zu stören, und so schlüpfte ich bei seinen Füßen hinaus.“
Türkçe
Âişe (r.a.), yanında namazı bozan şeylerin – köpek, eşek ve kadın – anıldığını rivayet etti. Bunun üzerine şöyle dedi: “Bizi eşeklere ve köpeklere benzettiniz! Allah'a yemin ederim ki Nebî'yi ﷺ namaz kılarken gördüm; ben de yatağın üzerinde – onunla kıble arasında – uzanmış bulunuyordum. Bir ihtiyacım baş gösterirdi de oturup Nebî'yi ﷺ rahatsız etmekten hoşlanmaz, onun ayak ucundan sıyrılıp çıkardım.”

أَعَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْكَلْبِ وَالْحِمَارِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مُضْطَجِعَةً عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، فَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَتَوَسَّطُ السَّرِيرَ فَيُصَلِّي، فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُسَنِّحَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَىِ السَّرِيرِ حَتَّى أَنْسَلَّ مِنْ لِحَافِي.

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.
