حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَائِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّی أَحَدُکُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَی سُتْرَةٍ وَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ سَاقَ مَعْنَاهُ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 698
Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: When one of you prays, he should pray facing the sutrah (screen or covering) and he should keep himself close to it. He then narrated the tradition to the same effect.
