370 - حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا طَلْحَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةِ، قَالَتْ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ وَأَنَا إِلَى جَنْبِهِ، وَأَنَا حَائِضٌ وَعَلَيَّ مِرْطٌ لِي وَعَلَيْهِ بَعْضُهُ»

Commentary
1. There is no contradiction between the narrations of this chapter and those of the previous chapter. The Prophet (ﷺ) usually did not pray in the garments of his wives, but when he was sure that the garments are clean and pure he prayed in them. 2. If a woman is sitting, lying or even sleeping near or in front of where one is praying, there is no harm in it. 3. In the early years of Islam the Muslims were not very well off, and usually a husband and wife had only one blanket for their use. See also number 631.
