Sahabi poking his wife?

Question

I heard an incident of a Sahabi (radiyallahu’anhu) poking his wife while making salah.

The speaker mentions the meaning of the Hadith: ‘Make salah in the innermost place in your room’ is to stop the Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) from poking his wife while she is making salah. The Hadith means that as her husband is very jealous so she must make salah in her house to save her marriage before going to Masjid.

Is this narration of the Sahabi (radiyallahu ‘anhu) poking his wife authentic?
