صحيح ابن خزيمه
Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah
جماع أبواب سترة المصليChapters on the Sutrah for the Praying Person
Hadith 809
حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ بِلالٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا بِالْمُصَلَّى " يَعْنِي الْعَنَزَةَ . قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : وَفِي أَمْرِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالاسْتِتَارِ بِالسَّهْمِ فِي الصَّلاةِ ، مَا بَانَ وَثَبَتَ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَرَادَ بِالأَمْرِ بِالاسْتِتَارِ بِمِثْلِ آخِرَةِ الرَّحْلِ فِي طُولِهَا ، لا فِي طُولِهَا وَعَرْضِهَا جَمِيعًا "
Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) performing prayer in the Eid ground, taking a spear as a sutrah. Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that from the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to use an arrow as a sutrah in prayer, it becomes clear and established that in the command to use the rear wooden part of a saddle as a sutrah, what the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) meant was its length, not both its length and width.
