Muwatta Imam Malik (Riwayat Ibn al-Qasim)
Discussion on Sutrah (Barrier in Prayer)
Using a Mount as a Sutrah Is Permissible
Hadith 129
228- وبه: أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أناخ بالبطحاء التى بذي الحليفة وصلى بها. قال نافع: وكان عبد الله بن عمر يفعل ذلك.
And with the same chain of narration (it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both) that at the place of Batha near Dhul-Hulaifa, the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, made his mount kneel down and prayed facing it. Nafi' said: Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, used to do the same.
