Bayhaqi 6170 — Carrying a short spear or lance before the imam on Eid

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، ثنا أَبِي، ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ أَمَرَ بِالْحَرْبَةِ فَتُوضَعُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا وَالنَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، وَكَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّفَرِ، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ اتَّخَذَهَا الْأُمَرَاءُ ". رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ، وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ.
(a) Nafi' narrates from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for Eid, he would order a spear. It would be brought in front of him (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would take it as a sutrah (screen), and the people would be with him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) did the same while travelling. Then the rulers adopted this practice.
(b) Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A spear or the like used to be carried with him (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he (peace and blessings be upon him) could take it as a sutrah.
