519. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها: It is not good that you people have made us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys. No doubt I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ offering prayers while I used to lie between him and the Qiblah and when he wanted to prostrate, he pushed my legs and I withdrew them.
519 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا القَاسِمُ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، قَالَتْ: بِئْسَمَا عَدَلْتُمُونَا بِالكَلْبِ وَالحِمَارِ «لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُنِي وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي وَأَنَا مُضْطَجِعَةٌ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ القِبْلَةِ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ غَمَزَ رِجْلَيَّ، فَقَبَضْتُهُمَا»
