English translation

1566. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to take out an 'Anazah (a short spear) on the day of Al-Fitr and the day of Al-Adhha, plant it in the ground, and pray facing toward it. (Sahīh)

Arabic text

1565 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، «أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُخْرِجُ الْعَنَزَةَ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ، وَيَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى يُرْكِزُهَا فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا»

Commentary

The other purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate that in the open space, a barrier is necessary in front of the prayer-leader. And a spear could be carried with a view to using it as a barrier.
