Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would be offering his night prayer (tahajjud), and I would be lying on the bed between him and the qiblah, like a funeral bier.

Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the things which break the prayer were mentioned in her presence. People said: The prayer is broken by a dog, a donkey and a woman. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: You have made us (women) equal to dogs. I have seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying while I was lying on the bed between him (peace and blessings be upon him) and the qiblah. When I had some need, I disliked being in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him), so I would slip away quietly.
