"PRAYER IS ANNULLED BY A DOG, A DONKEY AND A WOMAN (IF THEY PASS IN FRONT OF THE PRAYING PEOPLE)."?

Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 9, Number 490:

Narrated 'Aisha:

The things which annul the prayers were mentioned before me. They said, "PRAYER IS ANNULLED BY A DOG, A DONKEY AND A WOMAN (IF THEY PASS IN FRONT OF THE PRAYING PEOPLE)." I said, "You have made us (i.e. women) dogs. I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in my bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I would slip away. for I disliked to face him."

Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 9, Number 493:

Narrated 'Aisha:

THE THINGS WHICH ANNUAL PRAYER WERE MENTIONED BEFORE ME (AND THOSE WERE): A DOG, A DONKEY AND A WOMAN. I said, "You have compared us (women) to donkeys and dogs. By Allah! I saw the Prophet praying while I used to lie in (my) bed between him and the Qibla. Whenever I was in need of something, I disliked to sit and trouble the Prophet. So, I would slip away by the side of his feet."

Muslim, Book 004, Number 1034:

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said: A WOMAN, AN ASS AND A DOG DISRUPT THE PRAYER, but something like the back of a saddle guards against that.

Muslim, Book 004, Number 1037:

'Urwa b. Zubair reported: 'A'isha asked: WHAT DISRUPTS THE PRAYER? WE SAID: THE WOMAN AND THE ASS. Upon this she remarked: Is the woman an ugly animal? I lay in front of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) like the bier of a corpse and he said prayer.

Muslim, Book 004, Number 1038:

Masruq reported: It was mentioned before 'A'isha that PRAYER IS INVALIDATED (IN CASE OF PASSING) OF A DOG, AN ASS AND A WOMAN (BEFORE THE WORSHIPPER, WHEN HE IS NOT SCREENED). Upon this 'A'isha said: You likened us to the asses and the dogs. By Allah I saw the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) saying prayer while I lay on the bedstead interposing between him and the Qibla. When I felt the need, I did not like to wit to front (of the Holy Prophet) and perturb the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) and quietly moved out from under its (i. e. of the bedstead) legs.

Another "infallible hadith" says only BLACK DOGS [and not dogs of of other colors] invalidate prayer - because the BLACK DOG is a devil!

Muslim, Book 004, Number 1032:

Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of 'Allah (may peace be upon him) said: When any one of you stands for prayer and there is a thing before him equal to the back of the saddle that covers him and in case there is not before him (a thing) equal to the back of the saddle, HIS PRAYER WOULD BE CUT OFF BY (PASSING OF AN) ASS, WOMAN, AND BLACK DOG.

I said: O Abu Dharr, WHAT FEATURE IS THERE IN A BLACK DOG WHICH DISTINGUISH IT FROM THE RED DOG AND THE YELLOW DOG?

He said: O, son of my brother, I asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) as you are asking me, and he said:

..................THE BLACK DOG IS A DEVIL.
