Chapter on the Manner of Prayer, Its Description and What is Obligatory and Recommended

وَ رَوَى اِبْنُ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ:« لاَ يَقْطَعُ اَلصَّلاَةَ شَيْءٌ كَلْبٌ وَ لاَ حِمَارٌ وَ لاَ اِمْرَأَةٌ وَ لَكِنِ اِسْتَتِرُوا بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ قَدْرَ ذِرَاعٍ رَافِعٌ مِنَ اَلْأَرْضِ فَقَدِ اِسْتَتَرْتَ»
And Ibn Muskan narrated from Abu Basir: Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: "Nothing breaks the prayer, neither a dog, nor a donkey, nor a woman, but seek to shield yourselves with something. If there is in front of you the measure of a cubit raised from the ground, then you have shielded yourself."
