194 – ʿAnas (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: “ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had a qirām — a thin, multicoloured woollen curtain — with which she had screened one side of her room. The Prophet ﷺ said to her, “Remove this qirām of yours from us, for its designs keep coming before me while I am praying.” Recorded by al-Bukhārī. (1) The two Imams are also agreed on her report concerning the Anbijāniyya of Abū Juhm, in which he said, “It distracted me from my prayer.” (2)
