باب مَا يَسْتُرُ الْمُصَلِّي
Sunan Ibn Majah 940
It was
narrated from Musa bin Talhah that his father said: “We used
to
perform prayer while the beasts were passing in front of us. That
was
mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: ‘If
something like the hand of a saddle* is placed in front of anyone of
you, it will not matter whoever passes in front of him.”
* It is the piece of wood on the camel saddle which is held on to (to climb onto the camel).

Sa’eed said: “They sent me to Zaid bin Khalid to ask him

front of one who is performing prayer.’”

It was
narrated from Busr bin Sa’eed that Zaid bin Khalid sent word
to Abu
Juhaim Al-Ansari asking him: “What did you hear from the

heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying: ‘If anyone of you knew (how great
is
the sin involved) when he passed in front of his brother who is
performing prayer, then waiting for forty’,”
(one of the
narrators)
said: “I do not know if he meant forty years, forty
months, or forty
days, ‘would be better for him than that.”
