| 8. Prayers (Salat) |
| Hadith number 507 |
| Chapter: 98 To offer As-Salat (the prayer) facing a Rahila camel, a tree or a camel saddle as a Sutra). |
| 507 Narrated Nafi`: “The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to make his she-camel sit across and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra).” I asked, “What would the Prophet (peace be upon him) do if the she-camel was provoked and moved?” He said, “He would take its camel-saddle and put it in front of him and pray facing its back part (as a Sutra). And Ibn `Umar used to do the same.” (This indicates that one should not pray except behind a Sutra). |
