Sahih Muslim 512c (Book 4, Hadith 304) #8309
Praying Despite Distractions

SUMMARY: Prayer should not be disrupted by anything, even if a woman is lying in front of the person praying.

'Urwa b. Zubair reported: 'A'isha asked: What disrupts the prayer? We said: The woman and the ass. Upon this she remarked: Is the woman an ugly animal? I lay in front of the Messenger of Allah like the bier of a corpse and he said prayer.
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، قَالَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا الْمَرْأَةُ وَالْحِمَارُ ‏.‏ فَقَالَتْ إِنَّ الْمَرْأَةَ لَدَابَّةُ سَوْءٍ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مُعْتَرِضَةً كَاعْتِرَاضِ الْجِنَازَةِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي
