حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ أَحْسَبُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏

إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى غَيْرِ سُتْرَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْطَعُ صَلاَتَهُ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْخِنْزِيرُ وَالْيَهُودِيُّ وَالْمَجُوسِيُّ وَالْمَرْأَةُ وَيُجْزِئُ عَنْهُ إِذَا مَرُّوا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ عَلَى قَذْفَةٍ بِحَجَرٍ ‏"

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Ikrimah reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas, saying: I think the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, a dog, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw.

Abu Dawud said: There is something about this tradition in my heart. I used to discuss it with Ibrahim and others. I did not find anyone who narrated it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who reported it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who related it from Hisham. I think the confusion is on the part of Ibn Abi Saminah that is, Muhammad b. Isma'il al-Basri, the freed slave of Banu Hisham. In this tradition the mention of words "a Magian" is rejected; the mention of the words "at a stone's throw" and "a pig" is rejected.

Abu Dawud said: I did not hear this tradition except from Muhammad b. Isma'il b. Samurrah and I think he was mistaken because he used to narrate to us from his memory.

Reported by Abu Dawud (No. 704).

Al-Azimabadi — Awn al-Ma'bud

( وَيُجْزِئ عَنْهُ ) : بِالْهَمْزَةِ مِنْ الْإِجْزَاء أَيْ وَيَكْفِي عَنْ عَدَم سُتْرَته ( عَلَى قَذْفه بِحَجَرٍ ) : أَيْ رَمْيه بِحَجَرٍ بِأَنْ يَبْعُدُوا عَنْهُ ثَلَاثَة أَذْرُع فَأَكْثَر قَالَهُ اِبْن حَجَر وَرَوَى الطَّحَاوِيُّ وَيَكْفِيك إِذَا كَانُوا مِنْك قَدْر رَمْيَة وَلَمْ يَقْطَعُوا عَنْك صَلَاتك. أَيْ يَكْفِيك عَنْ السُّتْرَة إِذَا كَانُوا بَعِيدِينَ عَنْك قَدْر رَمْيَة بِحَجَرٍ وَلَمْ يَقْطَعُوا حِينَئِذٍ صَلَاتك. كَذَا فِي الْمِرْقَاة ( كُنْت ذَاكَرْتُهُ إِبْرَاهِيم وَغَيْره ) : أَيْ كُنْت أَسْأَل إِبْرَاهِيم وَغَيْره هَلْ رَوَى أَحَد غَيْر مُعَاذ هَذَا الْحَدِيث عَنْ هِشَام ( فَلَمْ أَرَ أَحَدًا أَجَابَهُ عَنْ هِشَام وَلَا يَعْرِفهُ ) : أَيْ فَلَمْ يَجِب أَحَد عَمَّا سَأَلْت و…

Ibn ‘Abbas reported God’s Messenger as saying, “When one of you prays without a sutra, an ass, a pig, a Jew, a Magian, and a woman cut off his prayer, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone’s throw.” Abu Dawud transmitted it.

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), "In case there is not before him (an object) like the back of a saddle, a Muslim's Salat (prayer) would be cut off by (the passing of) a woman, a donkey and a black dog." And it concludes: "the black dog is a devil." [Reported by Muslim].
