Home Hadith Hadith 499
Do you make us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys? While I used to lie in my bed, the Prophet (ﷺ)
would come and pray facing the middle of the bed. I used to consider it not good to stand in front of
him in his prayers. So I used to slip away slowly and quietly from the foot of the bed till I got out of
my guilt.
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 8, Hadith 155
← Previous Hadith
"The Prophet (ﷺ) used to make his she-camel sit across and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra)." I asked,
"What would the Prophet (ﷺ) do if the she-camel was provoked and moved?" He said, "He would take its
camel-saddle and put it in front of him and pray facing its back part (as a Sutra). And Ibn `Umar used
to do the same." (This indicates that one should not pray except behind a Sutra).
