English translation

698. (There is another chain) from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abī Sa'eed Al-Khudrī, from his father, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'When one of you prays, let him pray towards a Sutrah, and let him come close to it...' and the rest of the narration is similar (to no. 697). (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

698 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَجْلَانَ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ وَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا» ثُمَّ سَاقَ مَعْنَاهُ

Commentary

If someone tries to cross in front of a worshiper who is praying behind a Sutrah then the worshiper should stop him by force. This should be done by stretching one's hand out to block his passage. See no. 700.
