Musnad of Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them)
Musnad Ahmad 6286 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn Umar ibn al-Khattab
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ , أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ يَأْمُرُ بِالْحَرْبَةِ ، فَتُوضَعُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا ، وَالنَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ ، وَكَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّفَرِ ، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ اتَّخَذَهَا الْأُمَرَاءُ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out on the day of Eid, a spear would be fixed in front of him by his order, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would use it as a sutrah and lead the prayer, and the people would be behind him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would do this while traveling as well. From here, the rulers have adopted this practice.
