كتاب الصلاة
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اَللَّهِ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -«إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْعَلْ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ شَيْئًا, فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيَنْصِبْ عَصًا, فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَلْيَخُطَّ خَطًّا, ثُمَّ لَا يَضُرُّهُ مَنْ مَرَّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ» أَخْرَجَهُ أَحْمَدُ وَابْنُ مَاجَهْ, وَصَحَّحَهُ اِبْنُ حِبَّانَ, وَلَمْ يُصِبْ مَنْ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ مُضْطَرِبٌ, بَلْ هُوَ حَسَنٌ.
Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA):
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: “When one of you prays, he should put something in front of him, and if he cannot find something he should set up a stick; but if he has no stick with him he should draw a line, then what passes in front of him will not harm him.”
