(65) CHAPTER. Whoever cuts short As-Salat (the prayer) on hearing the cries of a child.

Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, When I start the prayer I intend to prolong it, but on hearing the cries of a child, I cut short the prayer because I know that the cries of the child will incite its mother's passions.
