Why seeing a woman, a donkey or a black dog voids a Muslim's prayer?

Question

There is a prophetical statement told by prophet Muhammed that seeing a woman, a donkey or a black dog while a Muslim man is praying could void his prayers.

The above statement is narrated by Muslim [789] and you can read it here (in Arabic):

http://hadith.al-islam.com/Display/Display.asp?hnum=789&doc=1

Does anyone know idea what is the rationale behind this?

Answer 1

Nothing of what you said is true.

Answer 2

The link you provide which is only half a page answers your question if you just read the next few lines, so what is the idea of your question? No seeing a women doesn't void a Muslim prayer and this was answerd by Aisha the wife of the prophet Mohammad PBUH.

Answer 3

Maybe the woman was unattractive and the donkey or black dog was to the praying Muslim, perhaps?

Answer 4

Sounds corny and irrational to me.

But what do you expect from a man,Muhammed, who was a Child Molester.

Here is what the "Real" God says about when your prayers can be hindered.

1 peter 3.7
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.

Answer 5

And if a Christian, while praying, sees a 747, a Dodge Durango or a pothole, his prayers will be null and void.

Ppppffffffffffttttttttt!!!!

Answer 6

no idea but this interesting.........and i dont really think its true unless its said in the book.....and if that happens when seeing a woman then u cannot get married cause b4 r married u have to see a woman and BUILD a relationship with her........

Answer 7

I can't answer your question but just be careful with trying to interpret hadith -- They have specific contexts, circumstances, etc.

REGARDLESS, during prayer you shouldn't be looking anywhere.

Answer 8

It explains it right there

How stupid and untrue it is
