بَابُ اسْتِحْبَابِ السُّتْرَةِ لِلْمُصَلِّي وَالدُّنُوِّ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ أَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَكُونُ وَأَيْنَ تَكُونُ مِنْ الْمُصَلَّى
Chapter on the Recommendation of Using a Sutrah for the Worshipper, Its Proximity, Its Nature, and Its Position
Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 1476 — on the Recommendation of Using a Sutrah
اُردوEn
عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ تُرْكَزُ لَهُ الْحَرْبَةُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that on both Eid prayers, a spear would be fixed for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would offer prayer facing towards it.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Although this blessed hadith pertains to an open field or open space, how can it be inferred from this that there is no need for a sutrah in mosques and homes? Observing a Sunnah in one place does not necessarily mean that its importance is diminished in another place, especially when a general ruling also exists and there are hadiths present regarding the observance of a sutrah inside mosques as well.
