Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated that you people have made us women equal to dogs and donkeys, whereas I used to be lying on the bed and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would come and stand in the middle of the bed (or place the bed between himself and the Qiblah), then he would pray. I used to feel it improper to remain lying in front of him, so I would slip away from the foot of the bed and come out from under the blanket.
