Re: ~H.A.D.I.T.H~ of the Day
Walaikum assalam sister,
From the following hadiths I understand that it is better to use any minor thing as a sutra just for the sake of precautions, though the children may play around. Allah knows best.
Narrated Abu Juhaifa:
Allah's Apostle came out at midday and offered a two-Rak'at Zuhr and 'Asr prayers at Al-Batha and an 'Anza was planted in front of him (as a Sutra). He performed ablution and the people took the remaining water left after his ablution and rubbed their bodies with it.
Narrated 'Aun bin Abi Juhaifa:
that he had heard his father saying, "Allah's Apostle came to us at mid-day and water was brought for his ablution. He performed ablution and led us in Zuhr and 'Asr prayers with an 'Anza planted in front of him (as a Sutra), while women and donkeys were passing beyond it."
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet used to get a Harba planted in front of him (as a Sutra) and pray behind it.
Narrated Salama:
The distance between the wall of the mosque and the pulpit was hardly enough for a sheep to pass through
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Whenever Allah's Apostle came out on 'Id day, he used to order that a Harba (a short spear) to be planted in front of him (as a Sutra for his prayer) and then he used to pray facing it with the people behind him and used to do the same while on a journey. After the Prophet , this practice was adopted by the Muslim rulers (who followed his traditions).
