حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَی بْنُ يُونُسَ ح و حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ کَانَ يَغْدُو إِلَی الْمُصَلَّی فِي يَوْمِ الْعِيدِ وَالْعَنَزَةُ تُحْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْمُصَلَّی نُصِبَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا وَذَلِکَ أَنَّ الْمُصَلَّی کَانَ فَضَائً لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَيْئٌ يُسْتَتَرُ بِهِ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 1304
It was narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah P.B.U.H used to set out for the praying place in the morning of the day of ‘him, and a small spear would be carried before him. When he reached the praying place, it would be set up in front him, then he would pray facing it and that was because the praying place was an open space in which there was nothing that could serve as a Sutrah (Sahih)
