Sunan an-NasaiHadith Number 755
أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، - رضى الله عنها - قَالَتْ كُنْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَىْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي فَإِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَقُومَ كَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَقُومَ - فَأَمُرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ - انْسَلَلْتُ انْسِلاَلاً .
It was narrated that Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said: "I was in front of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) when he was praying, and when I wanted to leave I did not want to get up and pass in front of him, so I just slipped away slowly and quietly."
[1] See 508 and 511 of Al-Bukhārī where he uses these narrations to prove what one may use for a Sutra . As for passing in front of the praying person, it is said that her slipping away after staying in front of him is not the same as one who passes – from one side to the other – in front of the praying person.Reference : Sunan an-Nasa'i 755In-book reference : Book 9, Hadith 14English translation : Vol. 1, Book 9, Hadith 756
