قَوْله : ( فَإِذَا سَجَدَ أَصَابَنِي ثَوْبُهُ ) كَذَا لِلْأَكْثَرِ , وَلِلْمُسْتَمْلِي والْكُشْمِيهَنِيّ " ثِيَابه " وَلِلْأَصِيلِيّ " أَصَابَتْنِي ثِيَابُهُ ". قَالَ اِبْن بَطَّال : هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ وَشَبَهه مِنْ الْأَحَادِيثِ الَّتِي فِيهَا اِعْتِرَاض الْمَرْأَةِ بَيْنَ الْمُصَلِّي وَقِبْلَتِهِ يَدُلُّ عَلَى جَوَازِ الْقُعُودِ لَا عَلَى جَوَازِ الْمُرُورِ. اِنْتَهَى. وَتُعُقِّبَ بِأَنَّ تَرْجَمَةَ الْبَابِ لَيْسَتْ مَعْقُودَة لِلِاعْتِرَاضِ بَلْ مَسْأَلَة الِاعْتِرَاض تَقَدَّمَتْ , وَالظَّاهِر أَنَّ الْمُصَنِّفَ قَصَدَ بَيَان صِحَّة الصَّلَاةِ وَلَوْ كَانَتْ الْحَائِض بِجَنْبِ الْمُصَلِّي وَلَوْ أَصَابَتْهَا ثِيَابُهُ , لَا كَوْن الْحَائِض بَيْنَ الْمُصَلِّي وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ. وَتَعْبِي…
