Combining “Only a woman breaks the prayer” with Aisha sleeping in front of the Messenger
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
How do we reconcile the hadith in which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that nothing breaks the prayer except a woman, a black dog, and a donkey, with the hadith in which Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) used to sleep in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was praying, until when he wanted to pray the witr he would nudge her and she would get up?
Answer:
There is no contradiction between the two hadiths; because her presence in front of him while she is in the bed is not called passing by, and likewise her slipping out of the bed is not passing by.
