Muhammad Likens Women to Dogs & Asses

Muhammad placed women on the same level with dogs and jack asses as the things that nullify a man’s prayers if they pass in front of them:

Abu Dharr reported: 

THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH 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 as you are asking me, and he said: The black dog is a devil. (Sahih Muslim, Book 004, Number 1032: https://sunnah.com/muslim:510a)

Here we see Muhammad's racism coming through since he labels black dogs as devils.

Abu Huraira reported: 

THE MESSENGER OF ALLAH SAID: A WOMAN, AN ASS AND A DOG DISRUPT THE PRAYER, but something like the back of a saddle guards against that. (Sahih Muslim, Book 004, Number 1034: https://sunnah.com/muslim:511)

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Qatadah said:

I heard Jabir ibn Zayd who reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas; and Shu'bah reported the Prophet as saying: A menstruating woman and a dog cut off the prayer.

Abu Dawud said: Sa'id, Hisham and Hammam narrated this tradition from Qatadah on the authority of Jabir b. Zaid as a statement of Ibn 'Abbas.

Grade: Sahih (Al-Albani) (Sunan Abu Dawud, Book 2, Number 0703: https://sunnah.com/abudawud:703)

Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas:

Ikrimah reported on the authority of Ibn Abbas, saying:

I think the Apostle of Allah said: When one of you prays without a sutrah, A DOG, AN ASS, A PIG, A JEW, A MAGIAN, AND A WOMAN CUT OFF HIS PRAYER, but it will suffice if they pass in front of him at a distance of over a stone's throw.

Abu Dawud said: There is something about this tradition in my heart. I used to discuss it with Ibrahim and others. I did not find anyone who narrated it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who reported it from Hisham and knew it. I did not know anyone who related it from Hisham. I think the confusion is on the part of Ibn Abi Saminah that is, Muhammad b. Isma'il al-Basri, the freed slave of Banu Hisham. In this tradition the mention of words "a Magian" is rejected; the mention of the words "at a stone's throw" and "a pig" is rejected.

Abu Dawud said: I did not hear this tradition except from Muhammad b. Isma'il b. Samurrah and I think he was mistaken because he used to narrate to us from his memory.

Suffice it to say, this made Muhammad’s child bride livid who inadvertently exposed her husband’s hypocrisy:

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." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 9, Number 490: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:511)

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. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Volume 1, Book 9, Number 486; see also Volume 1, Book 9, Numbers 493 and 498: https://sunnah.com/bukhari:519)

'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. (Sahih Muslim, Book 004, Number 1037: https://sunnah.com/muslim:512c)

Aisha shows that Muhammad didn’t practice what he preached since he would pray while his minor bride lay before him, even though he prohibited this for others.  

As it stands, Muhammad’s statements show that women are no better than dogs and asses in the eyes of the Muslim god.
