Narrator:Ā’ishah

حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ أَعَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالْكَلْبِ وَالْحِمَارِ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي مُضْطَجِعَةً عَلَى السَّرِيرِ

، فَيَجِيءُ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَيَتَوَسَّطُ السَّرِيرَ فَيُصَلِّي، فَأَكْرَهُ أَنْ أُسَنِّحَهُ فَأَنْسَلُّ مِنْ قِبَلِ رِجْلَىِ السَّرِيرِ حَتَّى أَنْسَلَّ مِنْ لِحَافِي‏.‏

Narrated `Aisha:

Do you make us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys? While I used to lie in my bed, the Prophet (ﷺ) would come and pray facing the middle of the bed. I used to consider it not good to stand in front of him in his prayers. So I used to slip away slowly and quietly from the foot of the bed till I got out of my guilt.

Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani — Fath al-Bari

قَوْله : ( أَعَدَلْتُمُونَا ) هُوَ اِسْتِفْهَام إِنْكَار مِنْ عَائِشَة , قَالَتْهُ لِمَنْ قَالَ بِحَضْرَتِهَا " يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ الْكَلْبُ وَالْحِمَارُ وَالْمَرْأَةُ " كَمَا سَيَأْتِي مِنْ رِوَايَة مَسْرُوق عَنْهَا بَعْدَ خَمْسَةِ أَبْوَاب , وَهُنَاكَ نَذْكُرُ مَبَاحِث هَذَا الْمَتْن إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى. وَقَوْلُهَا " رَأَيْتُنِي " بِضَمِّ الْمُثَنَّاة وَقَوْلُهَا " أَنْ أَسْنَحَهُ " بِفَتْحِ النُّونِ وَالْحَاءِ الْمُهْمِلَةِ أَيْ أَظْهَرُ لَهُ مِنْ قُدَّامِهِ. وَقَالَ الْخَطَّابِيّ : هُوَ مِنْ قَوْلِك سَنَحَ لِي الشَّيْءُ إِذَا عَرَضَ لِي , تُرِيدُ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ تَخْشَى أَنْ تَسْتَقْبِلَهُ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي بِبَدَنِهَا , أَيْ مُنْتَصِبَة. وَقَوْلُهَا " أَنْسَلُّ " بِفَتْحِ السِّ…

يُصَلِّي صَلاَتَهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَهِيَ مُعْتَرِضَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ رَاقِدَةً عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ الَّذِي يَرْقُدُ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُوتِرَ أَيْقَظَهَا فَأَوْتَرَتْ ‏.‏
