رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا 494. Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Whenever Allāh's Messenger ﷺ came out on 'Eid day he used to order that a Harba (a short spear) to be planted in front of him [as a Sutra for his Ṣalāt (prayer)] and then he used to offer Ṣalāt facing it with the people behind him; and he used to do the same while on a journey. After the Prophet ﷺ, this practice was adopted by the Muslim rulers (who followed his Sunna - legal ways)."

Arabic text

494 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَنْصُورٍ ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ: «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ يَوْمَ العِيدِ أَمَرَ بِالحَرْبَةِ، فَتُوضَعُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ، فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا وَالنَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، وَكَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ فِي السَّفَرِ»، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ اتَّخَذَهَا الْأُمَرَاءُ
