I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in front of a stick, a pillar, or a tree, without having it opposite his right or left eyebrow, and not facing it directly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 693)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ صَلَّى إِلَى عَمُودٍ وَلَا عُودٍ وَلَا شَجَرَةٍ إِلَّا جَعَلَهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَالْأَيْسَرِ وَلَا يَصْمُدُ لَهُ صَمْدًا
I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in front of a stick, a pillar, or a tree, without having it opposite his right or left eyebrow, and not facing it directly.
مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي إِلَى عُودٍ وَلاَ عَمُودٍ وَلاَ شَجَرَةٍ إِلاَّ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الأَيْمَنِ أَوِ الأَيْسَرِ وَلاَ يَصْمُدُ لَهُ صَمْدًا
[Machine] "I have never seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying towards a pillar, a wooden post, or a tree, except that he would place it on his right and left temples, and he would not lean on it as a support."
«مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ» يُصَلِّي إِلَى عَمُودٍ وَلَا عُودٍ وَلَا شَجَرَةٍ إِلَّا وَهُوَ يَجْعَلَهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْمَنِ وَحَاجِبِهِ الْأَيْسَرِ وَلَا يَصْمُدُ إِلَيْهِ صَمَدًا
