953. It was narrated that Hasan Al-'Urani said: "Mention was made in the presence of Ibn 'Abbâs about what severs the prayer. They mentioned a dog, a donkey and a woman. He said: 'What do you say about kids (young goats)? The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ was performing prayer one day, when a kid came and wanted to pass in front of him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ preceded it toward the Qiblah. (to tighten the space and prevent it from passing in front of him).'" (Da'if)
953 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى أَبُو الْمُعَلَّى، عَنْ الْحَسَنِ الْعُرَنِيِّ، قَالَ ذُكِرَ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، مَا يَقْطَعُ الصَّلَاةَ، فَذَكَرُوا الْكَلْبَ، وَالْحِمَارَ، وَالْمَرْأَةَ، فَقَالَ: مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الْجَدْيِ؟ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «كَانَ يُصَلِّي يَوْمًا، فَذَهَبَ جَدْيٌ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَبَادَرَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْقِبْلَةَ»

The worshiper must not allow anything to pass in front of him. The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ preceded towards the front in order to tighten the space so that the kid (or lamb) passed from behind. It seems that 'Abdullâh bin Abbâs interpreted the term 'severing the prayer' by the passing of these things as disruption in concentration and devotion. He did not see in it the need to redo the prayer. That is the reason why he spoke the words: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ preceded it (the kid or lamb) toward the Qiblah'' although nobody believes that their passing would sever the prayer.
