Now think about if you have a little girl and she reads a hadith
well if a woman or a dog or a donkey pass by you, your prayer is
cut off, right? What is she going to think? But there's a context to
that hadith. There's an explanation for the Hadith. Okay,
the dog is because you're scared that there's a wild dog coming
right at you, right? Or that maybe he'll urinate on you or something.
Okay? So he breaks this a lot because you're scared now you're
wondering what is this dog gonna bite me or not? Or if your donkey
passes by meaning a donkey passes by meaning, like, my writing beast
is walking away. If you're in the masjid, and all of a sudden, out
of the window of the messenger, you see your car driving by while
your insula, your Salah, your focus is broken. Or if a woman a
beautiful woman passes by, or your wife is passing by without a job,
right? She may be distracted, okay to look. So you lose focus in your
prayer. You don't actually lose your prayer. We all know that.
None of that breaks the prayer.
