English translation

507. Narrated Nāfi': Ibn 'Umar said, "The Prophet ﷺ used to make his she-camel sit across and he would offer Ṣalāt (prayer) facing it (as a Sutra)." I asked, "What would the Prophet ﷺ do if the she-camel was provoked and moved?" He said, "He (ﷺ) would take its camel-saddle and put it in front of him and offer Ṣalāt facing its back part (as a Sutra)." And Ibn 'Umar used to do the same. (This indicated that one should not offer Ṣalāt except behind a Sutra).

Arabic text

507 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ المُقَدَّمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرٌ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ «كَانَ يُعَرِّضُ رَاحِلَتَهُ، فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا»، قُلْتُ: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِذَا هَبَّتِ الرِّكَابُ؟ قَالَ: «كَانَ يَأْخُذُ هَذَا الرَّحْلَ فَيُعَدِّلُهُ، فَيُصَلِّي إِلَى آخِرَتِهِ - أَوْ قَالَ مُؤَخَّرِهِ -» وَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَفْعَلُهُ "
