Citing the hadith of 'Aishah: "And I was in front of him"

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a question regarding the citation of the hadith of 'Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her), in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
He would pray while I was in front of himيصلي وأنا بحيرة بين يديه
.

Answer:
This is not passing by; this is not passing by, but rather it is merely being in front of him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only prohibited passing by and crossing over, whereas a person who is stationary, sitting, or lying down is not one who is passing by.
