1230 - Ishaq narrated to us, he said: 'Abd al-Samad ibn 'Abd al-Warith informed us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Abd Allah ibn Dinar, from Zayd ibn Aslam, from 'Ata' ibn Yasar, from Abu Waqid al-Laythi, he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whatever is cut from a living being is dead."

Chapter: Praying on a bed
1232 - Ahmad ibn al-Azhar narrated to us, he said: Al-Walid ibn al-Walid ibn Yazid al-'Ansi al-Dimashqi narrated to us, he said: I asked al-Awza'i about praying on beds and the like? He saw no harm in that.
Chapter: The man who prays while repressing the two impurities (feces and urine)
I said to Ahmad: A man who prayed while repressing the two impurities? He said: "He must repeat it."
And Ahmad was asked - another time - about a man in prayer who was overtaken by the need to urinate? He said: "If it is just gas or bloating, I am hopeful, and let him continue his prayer as long as it does not overcome him."
(1) Thus it appears in the original; the correct form is "Zayd".
