Hadith 166

Narrated 'Aamir bin Rabi'ah (RA): I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) praying while mounted on his riding animal facing whatever direction it faced. [Agreed upon]. al-Bukhari added: "Making gestures with his head and he did not do that (pray while mounted) with obligatory prayers." Narrated Anas in another narration of the Hadith reported by Abu Dawud: When [he (ﷺ)] traveled, and intended to pray a voluntary prayer, he used to direct his riding camel towards the Qiblah, say, "Allahu Akbar" and pray facing whatever direction it faced. [Its chain is Hasan (good)].
