Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
709. Commentary:
➊ The person performing prayer should safeguard his prayer. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not even permit the passing of a young goat. ➋ That young goat passed from behind the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, that is, in front of the followers (muqtadis), because for the followers, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam himself was the sutrah (barrier).

Benefits and Issues:

➌ According to some scholars, this narration is authentic.
