Arabic text

748 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا لَا يَقْطَعَ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاتَهُ»

Commentary

It has preceded that the barrier also shields against Satan, because Satan distracts the worshippers' thoughts and the barrier guards one's mind from wandering in one's devotional time. The barrier, therefore, should be near the place of prostration, so that one's gaze may not wander beyond one's place of prostration.
