Virtues of the Prayer Hall (Sutra of the Musalla)

Bukhari :: Book 1 :: Volume 9 :: Hadith 486

Narrated 'Aisha:

Do you make us (women) equal to dogs and donkeys? While I used to lie in my bed, the Prophet would come and pray facing the middle of the bed. I used to consider it not good to stand in front of him in his prayers. So I used to slip away slowly and quietly from the foot of the bed till I got out of my guilt.
