Sahih Muslim 499b (Book 4, Hadith 274) #8279
Walking In Front During Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught that if anything equal to the back of a saddle is in front of you, then no harm would come to whosoever walks in front.

Musa b. Talha reported on the authority of his father: We used to say prayer and the animals moved in front of us. We mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah and he said: If anything equal to the back of a saddle is in front of you, then what walks in front, no harm would come to him. Ibn Numair said: No harm would come whosoever walks in front.
وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الطَّنَافِسِيُّ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي وَالدَّوَابُّ تَمُرُّ بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ مِثْلُ مُؤْخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ تَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ أَحَدِكُمْ ثُمَّ لاَ يَضُرُّهُ مَا مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَقَالَ ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ‏"‏ فَلاَ يَضُرُّهُ مَنْ مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect animals during prayer time and don't let distractions interfere with worshiping Allah SWT .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith teaches us that when we are praying, it is okay for animals or other things to be in front of us as long as they are not bigger than the back of a saddle. This means that if something small like an ant or a fly passes by while we are praying, it will not affect our prayer and we do not need to stop and start again. The Prophet Muhammad also taught us that no harm would come to whosoever walks in front during prayer, so even if someone passes by while we are praying, it will still be okay and our prayer will remain valid. We should always remember this teaching from the Prophet Muhammad and make sure that nothing interrupts our prayers when we are performing them.
