باب الصَّلاَةِ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ:Chapter: Praying towards a barrier
Hadith 1448
أَخْبَرَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ"كَانَتْ تُرْكَزُ لَهُ الْعَنَزَةُ يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a spear (staff) would be fixed for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he would face towards it and perform prayer (i.e., in an open space, he would make the spear or staff a sutrah and pray towards it).
