To offer As-Salat (the prayer) using a Harba (a short spear) (as a Sutra)

Narrated 'Abdullah:

The Prophet used to get a Harba planted in front of him (as a Sutra) and pray behind it.

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُرْكَزُ لَهُ الْحَرْبَةُ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا.
