[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you prays, let him place something in front of his face. If he cannot find anything, then let him set up a stick. If he doesn't have a stick, then let him draw a line, and thus what passes in front of him will not harm him. And likewise..."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَجْعَلْ تِلْقَاءَ وَجْهِهِ شَيْئًا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ فَلْيَنْصِبْ عَصًا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ مَعَهُ عَصًا فَلْيَخْطُطْ خَطًّا ثُمَّ لَا يَضُرُّهُ مَا مَرَّ أَمَامَهُ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When one of you prayer, let him place something in front of him. If he cannot find anything, then let him draw a line, and nothing that passes in front of him will harm him." And it was narrated by Humaid bin al-Aswad, from Ismail bin Umayyah, from Abu Amr bin Muhammad bin Huraith bin Sulaim, from his father, from Abu Hurairah, from the Prophet ﷺ regarding the words of Bashr. Abu Hassan al-Muqri' informed us that Abu al-Hassan Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abdus read to him. Yusuf bin Ya'qub informed us that Muhammad bin Abi Bakr informed him. Humaid bin al-Aswad mentioned and narrated it. Wahib and Abd al-Warith narrated it from Ismail, from Abu Amr bin Huraith, from his grandfather Huraith. Abdur-Razzaq narrated from Ibn Juraij, who heard it from Ismail, from Huraith bin Ammar, from Abu Hurairah, in a shortened form. And Ibn Uyaynah narrated it in the narration of ash-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, and Humaidi, and a group of others. From Ismail bin Umayyah, from Abu Muhammad bin Amr bin Huraith, from his grandfather Huraith al-Udhri, from Abu Hurairah. Then it was narrated from him that he doubted it. Abu Abdullah al-Hafiz informed us that Abu al-Hassan Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Abdus informed me about reciting it. He said: "I heard Uthman bin Said ad-Darimi saying: 'I heard Ali bin Abdullah bin al-Madini saying: 'Sufyan said in the hadith of Ismail bin Umayyah, from Abu Muhammad bin Amr bin Huraith, from his grandfather Huraith, from Abu Hurairah, that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'if one of you prays on uneven ground, let him place a staff in front of him.' Ali said: 'I said to Sufyan: 'They differ in this matter, some say Abu Amr bin Muhammad, and some say Abu Muhammad bin Amr.' Sufyan pondered for a while, then said: 'I only memorized it from Abu Muhammad bin Amr.' I said to Sufyan: 'But Ibn Juraij says Abu Amr bin Muhammad.' Sufyan remained silent for a while, then said: 'Abu Muhammad bin Amr or Abu Amr bin Muhammad.' Then Sufyan said: 'I considered him to be a brother of Amr bin Huraith, while Murrat al-Udhri said: 'Ali said: 'Sufyan said: 'A man from Basra, perhaps it is Abu Mu'adh.' He said: 'I met this man who narrated from Ismail.' Ali said: 'That was after the death of Ismail bin Umayyah.' So this sheikh sought him until he found him. Uthba said: 'I asked him about it, and he mixed it for me.' Sufyan said: 'We did not find anything that supports this Hadith, and nothing that we narrated from it contradicts it.' And there is nothing wrong with it in such a ruling if Allah wills and with His guidance."
