حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ أَمَر بِالْحَرْبَةِ فَتُوضَعُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُصَلي إِلَيْهَا، وَالنَّاسُ وَرَاءَهُ، وَكَانَ يَفْعَلُ ذلِكَ فِي السَّفَرِ، فَمِنْ ثَمَّ اتَّخَذَهَا الأُمَرَاءُ.
Ibn 'Umar Narrated from:
Whenever Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came out on 'Eid day, he used to order that a Harba (a short spear) to be planted in front of him [as a Sutra for his Salât (prayer)], and then he used to offer Salât facing it with the people behind him, and used to do the same while on a journey. After the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, this practice was adopted by the Muslim rulers (who followed his legal ways). ( Sahih Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 473, Vol. 1 )
