Bayhaqi 3461 — What serves as the sutrah of the one praying

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو الْأَدِيبُ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْإِسْمَاعِيلِيُّ، أنبأ يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْحَمَّادِيُّ، فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَ حَدِيثِ الْمُقْرِئِ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: أَبُو بَكْرٍ يُشْبِهُ أَنْ يَكُونَ قَوْلُهُ: " أَفَرَأَيْتَ " مِنْ كَلَامِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ لِنَافِعٍ لَا مِنْ كَلَامِ نَافِعٍ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ.
(a) A similar narration is reported through another chain.
(b) Imam al-Bayhaqi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: It seems that in the above narration «afara'ayta» (what do you think?) was said by Ubaydullah to Nafi', not that Nafi' said this to Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), because Ibrahim bin Musa (may Allah have mercy on him) and Qasim bin Zakariyya (may Allah have mercy on him) both informed me that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, he would place the camel crosswise between himself and the qiblah.
(c) Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him) states in his hadith: Ubaydullah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I asked Nafi' (may Allah have mercy on him): "When the camels had gone off, then what would he do?" He told me that he (peace and blessings be upon him) would place the back-rest of the saddle between himself and the qiblah.
