Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) once learned that some people say that a dog, a donkey, and a woman passing in front of a person praying breaks his prayer. So she said, "I think these people have made us equal to dogs and donkeys, whereas sometimes the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray at night and I would be lying between him and the Qiblah like a bier. If I needed something, I would slip away from the foot of the bed, because I did not like to pass in front of him."
