Benefits of the Hadith: (It breaks the prayer of the Muslim man if there is not between him and his hands . . .)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : This hadith contains benefits, among which are:
That these three things break the prayer, whether that is in a voluntary prayer or an obligatory one, and whether the one praying is an imam, a ma'mum, or praying alone. However, it was previously mentioned that the ma'mum's sutrah is his imam's sutrah, and based on this, he is excluded from this generality.
And among the benefits of this hadith is the clarification of the benefits of the sutrah, which is that it prevents the invalidation of the prayer if one of these three passes behind it. And his sayingBulugh al-Maram 2:98, and if we say that the sutrah suffices for what is less than that, then the sutrah suffices even if it is less than that.
And among them is that a small girl does not break the prayer, so if a young girl passes in front of the one praying, his prayer remains valid.
And among them is that there is no difference between the passing woman being unaware or aware, because the hadith is absolute. Now, if she pushed without intention, does she break the prayer or not? I have hesitation in this, and this sometimes happens in the crowd; a woman pushes until she slips in front of the one praying. Do we say that this was without her choice, so it is not said that she passed? Or do we say that occupying the one praying with the passing of a woman in front of him makes no difference between her doing it by her choice or without her choice? If we return to the original principle, we say the original principle is the validity of the prayer, the original principle is the validity of the prayer, so we cannot invalidate it except with something certain.
If someone were to ask how we answer the objection of Aisha, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), where she denied this? And she said: The answer to this is from two angles:
The first angle is that it is not possible to oppose the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with the saying of anyone, whoever he may be, even if he were the most knowledgeable of the Companions and the most connected to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), because we are only commanded to follow whom?
The student: The Messenger.
The Shaykh : The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family)
Second, that her objection (may Allah be pleased with her) has no basis, because the hadith came in a form other than the one she mentioned. The hadith came regarding what?
The student: Passing by.
The Shaykh : Passing by, and she did not pass by; she was lying down in front of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and did not pass by, so this objection has no basis. And her saying (may Allah be pleased with her): "You likened us to dogs", the answer to this is easy: it can be said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said that, and the intention was not to belittle the status of the woman or for her to be like a dog or a donkey, but because the one praying is facing Allah (Mighty and Majestic), the passing of a woman in front of him is feared to cause what? That he be tempted and his heart become attached to her, and that is not a matter of insulting her or likening her to a donkey or a dog.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that a donkey breaks the prayer, whether it is small or large, or black or white, due to the generality, the donkey.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that the black dog breaks the prayer. Is "black" a descriptive attribute that is not considered, or is it a considered attribute? The second one, the second answer, because Abu Dharr asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) about the condition that it be black, so he clarified to him that the black one is a devil.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that a dog breaks the prayer, whether it is small or large.
And among its benefits is that one that is not black does not break the prayer. But if it has white spots or yellow spots and the majority is black, does it break the prayer? The answer is no, it does not break the prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) conditioned that it be black, except that some scholars included with the pure black one that has whiteness above its eyes, because this means the pure black one may not be found except rarely, and he said that the one with whiteness above its eyes is included with the black one.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that there are devils in dogs, and there are some that are not so, due to his saying:.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that the black dog is not permitted to be hunted because it is a devil, so its hunting is not permitted. Therefore, it is forbidden to keep it, even for hunting or livestock or crops. The people of knowledge said: "And it is killed in all cases", unlike the other dogs, which are not killed except if they cause harm that cannot be repelled except by killing, then they are killed, but without a reason, no.
And among the benefits of this hadith is the eagerness of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) to know the ruling and the secrets in legislation, because Abu Dharr asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) about the wisdom in the black one breaking the prayer and the others not breaking it.
And among the benefits of this hadith is that the legal rulings are attributed to wisdom, but the attribution may be known to us or unknown to us, and it may be known to everyone or known to some people. And the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) call what its cause is not known the devotional ruling, meaning that our duty is to worship Allah with this, whether we know the wisdom or not, because this is the reality of servitude. For this reason Yes?
The questioner : O Shaykh, after separation?
The Shaykh : No, no, it does not break, because he has now separated from the imam.
The questioner : Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
That these three things break the prayer, whether that is in a voluntary prayer or an obligatory one, and whether the one praying is an imam, a ma'mum, or praying alone.

And among the benefits of this hadith is the clarification of the benefits of the sutrah, which is that it prevents the invalidation of the prayer if one of these three passes behind it. And his saying
In case there is not before him (an object) like the back of a saddle
إذا لم يكن بين يديه مثل مؤخرة الرّحلAnd among them is that a small girl does not break the prayer, so if a young girl passes in front of the one praying, his prayer remains valid.

If someone were to ask how we answer the objection of Aisha, the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her), where she denied this? And she said:
You likened us to dogs and donkeys. I used to sleep lying down in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) while he was praying.
شبّهتمونا بالكلاب والحمير، لقد كنت أنام معترضة بين يدي النّبيّ صلّى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلّم وهو يصلّيThe first angle is that it is not possible to oppose the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) with the saying of anyone, whoever he may be, even if he were the most knowledgeable of the Companions and the most connected to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), because we are only commanded to follow whom?

For this reason
When the Mother of the Believers Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was asked what is the matter with the menstruating woman making up the fast but not making up the prayer? She said: It used to happen to us, so we were commanded to make up the fast and not commanded to make up the prayer.
لمّا سئلت أمّ المؤمنين عائشة رضي الله عنها ما بال الحائض تقضي الصّوم ولا تقضي الصّلاة؟ قالت: كان يصيبنا ذلك فنؤمر بقضاء الصّوم ولا نؤمر بقضاء الصّلاةThe questioner : O Shaykh, after separation?
The Shaykh : No, no, it does not break, because he has now separated from the imam.
The questioner : Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
