It was narrated that Hasan Al-‘Urani said: ‘Mention was made in the presence of Ibn ‘Abbas about what severs the prayer. They mentioned a dog, a donkey and a woman. He said: ‘What do you say about kids (young goats)? The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) was performing prayer one day, when a kid came and wanted to pass in front of him. The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) preceded it toward the Qiblah. (to tighten the space and prevent it from passing in front of him).’”

It was narrated from ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Sa’eed that his father said:`“The Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: ‘When anyone of you performs prayer, let him pray facing towards a Sutrah, and let him get close to it, and not let anyone pass in front of him. If someone comes and wants to pass in front of him, let him fight him, for he is a Shaitan (satan).’”

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:`“When anyone of you is performing prayer, he should not let anyone pass in front of him. If he insists then let him fight him, for he has a Qarin (devil-companion) with him.”
