Explanation of the Book of Prayer and Its Times-08a

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Uthman ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us, saying: Jarir narrated to us from Mansur from Ibrahim from al-Aswad from Aisha, who said:
Do you make us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys? While I used to lie in my bed, the Prophet (ﷺ) would come and pray facing the middle of the bed. I used to consider it not good to stand in front of him in his prayers. So I used to slip away slowly and quietly from the foot of the أعدلتمونا بالكلب والحمار . لقد رأيتني مضطجعة على السرير فيجيء النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيتوسط السرير فيصلي فأكره أن أسنحه فأنسل من قبل رجلي
Sahih al-Bukhari 508
.

The Shaykh : I have:
that I make him move أن أُسنِّحهُ
, you have: "make him move"? It appears to be a copy, yes.
The reader:
so I moved away quietly from the front legs of the bedstead and thus came out of the quilt. فأنسل من قبل رجلي السرير حتى أنسل من لحافي
Sahih Muslim 512e
.

The Shaykh :"Chapter on praying toward the bed". This means that it is permissible, and then he cited this hadith as evidence.
And in the statement of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):
Have you equated us with dogs and donkeys أعدلتمونا بالكلب والحمار
she is referring to the hadith of Abdullah ibn Mughaffal (may Allah be pleased with him) which Muslim included in his Sahih:
In case there is not before him (an object) like the back of a saddle, a Muslim's Salat (prayer) would be cut off by (the passing of) a woman, a donkey and a black dog أنه يقطع صلاة الرجل المسلم إذا لم يكن بين يديه مثل مؤخرة الرحل : المرأة والحمار والكلب الأسود
Bulugh al-Maram 2:98
However, her (may Allah be pleased with her) denial can be excused by the fact that the hadith did not reach her; otherwise, if the hadith had reached her, she would not have said this. But it became widespread among people without being attributed to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as far as she knew, so she said: "Have you equated us with that". A person may be ignorant of something even if he is a scholar.
