Urwah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her): "What things break the prayer by passing in front?" They said: "A woman and a donkey passing." Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "Is a woman an evil beast? Indeed, I used to lie in front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the way a bier lies, while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying."
