It was reported by [[Aisha]] in several [[sahih]] hadith that Muhammad said, "Prayer is annulled by a dog, a donkey and a woman (if they pass in front of the praying people)." She also protested about how this rule equated women to [[animals]].<ref>"''Narrated 'Aisha: The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me.

===Al-Fatiha=== | |||
[[Surah]] [[Al-Fatiha|al-Fatiha]] is recited as part of all daily prayers and repeated within each prayer. A Muslim who says all their prayers would recite this surah at least 17 times a day, and over 5,000 times a year. According to hadith, "those who went astray" are the Christians and "those who earned Allah's anger" are the Jews.<ref>Sunan Abi Dawood, narrated by Adi ibn Hatim</ref><ref>Sunan al-Tirmidhi, narrated by Adi ibn Hatim</ref><ref>"''These two paths are the paths of the Christians and Jews, a fact that the believer should beware of so that he avoids them. … the Jews abandoned practicing the religion, while the Christians lost the true knowledge. This is why ‘anger’ descended upon the Jews, while being described as ‘led astray’ is more appropriate of the Christians. … We should also mention that both the Christians and the Jews have earned the anger and are led astray, but the anger is one of the attributes more particular of the Jews. Allah said about the Jews, ‘Those (Jews) who incurred the curse of Allah and His wrath’ (Sura 5:60). The attribute that the Christians deserve most is that of being led astray, just as Allah said about them, ‘Who went astray before and who misled many, and strayed (themselves) from the right path’ (Sura 5:77) [...] | |||
Imam Ahmad recorded that ‘Adi bin Hatim said, … he [Muhammad] said: ‘Those who have earned the anger are the Jews and those who are led astray are the Christians.’''" - [http://tafsir.com/default.asp?sid=1&tid=523 The Faithful ask for and abide by Guidance], Tafsir Ibn Kathir </ref> Thus the daily prayers of every Muslim, part of the core of Islam, include a rejection of [[Islam and the People of the Book|Christians and Jews]] as misguided and objects of [[Allah]]’s wrath. | |||
