400. Narrated Jābir رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to offer Salāt (prayer) (optional, non-obligatory prayer) while riding on his mount (Rāḥila) wherever it turned, and whenever he wanted to offer the compulsory Salāt he dismounted and prayed facing the Qiblah (Ka'bah at Makkah).

Arabic text

400 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: «كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ، حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَتْ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الفَرِيضَةَ نَزَلَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ القِبْلَةَ»
