How do we reconcile the hadith (the slave’s prayer is cut off if there is not in front of him something like the back of a saddle: a woman, a black dog, and a donkey) with the hadith of Aisha in
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How is Abu Abd al-Rahman?
The Shaykh : Fine, please go ahead. Praise be to Allah.
The questioner: Is it clear, if Allah wills?
The Shaykh : May Allah preserve you. How are you?
The questioner : May Allah bless you. How is your health?
The Shaykh : Praise be to Allah, I am well.
The questioner : There is room for questions, if Allah wills. A small question.
The Shaykh : One question, and even if you make it big, there is no harm, but just one.
The questioner : One question, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: In the hadith:Bulugh al-Maram 2:98.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : But in a hadith in "Sahih Muslim": "That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray at night, and I, Aisha, was lying across between him and the qiblah, like a funeral procession."
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : How do we reconcile this hadith with the hadith before it?
The Shaykh : Is there in the second hadith a woman passing in front of the praying man?
The questioner : No, not at all.
The Shaykh : Then there is no contradiction, so you do not need to seek reconciliation.
The questioner : Fine, the hadith of Ibn Abbas:.
The Shaykh : That is: it passes in front of whom?
The questioner : The rows.
The Shaykh : Yes, so it did not pass in front of the imam first.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : And the imam is a sutrah for those behind him.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : Then even if it were said that the imam’s sutrah is not a sutrah for those behind him, this cannot be said.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So it is not in the hadith that it passed in front of the praying people and their place of prostration.
The questioner : Yes, yes.
The Shaykh : So this passing is what invalidates the prayer and cuts it off.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : So there is no contradiction between the first hadith and the second and third.
The questioner : That is, we benefit from that—also—that the hadith, if Allah wills, is not abrogated?
The Shaykh: No, no.
The questioner : The hadith that says it cuts off.
The Shaykh : The first hadith is clear and not abrogated.
The questioner: Ah.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : And may He reward you.
The questioner: Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner : Your prayers, your prayers.
The Shaykh: And upon you peace.
The questioner : How is Abu Abd al-Rahman?

The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner: In the hadith:
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
يقطع صلاة العبد إذا لم يكن بين يديه مثل مؤخرة الرحل : المرأة ، والكلب الأسود ، والحمارThe Shaykh: Yes.
