Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I and Fadl came riding on a donkey, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was leading the people in prayer at Arafah. We passed in front of part of the row, dismounted from it, left it to graze, and joined the row. Upon this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not say anything to us.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, says: I came riding on a donkey, at that time I was near the age of puberty. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was leading the people in prayer. In this state, I reached in front of a part of the first row, dismounted there, the donkey began to graze, and I stood in the row with the people following the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates: He says that he and a boy from Banu Hashim were on a donkey, and that donkey passed in front of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was performing prayer, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not break his prayer. Meanwhile, two girls from Banu Abdul Muttalib came and held the knees of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) separated them and did not break his prayer.

Hasan Arni, may Allah have mercy on him, says: It was mentioned to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, that a dog, a donkey, and a woman break the prayer. He said: It is a bad thing that you have equated a Muslim woman with a dog and a donkey. I have seen myself that I came riding on a donkey while the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was leading the people in prayer. When I came near in front of him, I got down from it and left it, and joined the prayer with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, neither repeated his prayer nor forbade me from doing so. And once it happened that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was leading the people in prayer when a girl came passing through the rows and sought refuge with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. Even then, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, neither repeated his prayer nor forbade her from doing so. Another incident is that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was praying in the mosque when a kid goat came out from one of his chambers and began to pass in front of him, but the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, stopped it. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, says: Now why do you not say that a kid goat breaks the prayer?
