Commentary
In front of him, a spear (a small spear: said to be of the measure of half a lance) was placed in the ground for a barrier (Sutrah). The one performing prayer should use such a barrier (Sutrah) at all times except when he prays behind an Imām, in which case the Imām’s Sutrah is his Sutrah.
