"إذا صلّى إحدُكُمْ إلى سُتْرةٍ فليَدْنُ منها لا يَمَرُّ الشَّيطانُ بينه وبينها".

Collected by Nasāʾī, Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Suyūṭī"When anyone of you prays toward a Sutra, let him get close to it and not allow the Shaitan to sever his prayer for him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا لاَ يَقْطَعُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ صَلاَتَهُ
The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you prays facing a sutrah he should keep close to it, and not let the devil interrupt his prayer. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been narrated by Waqid b. Muhammad from Safwan from Muhammad b. Sahl on the authority of his father, or on the authority of Muhammad b. Sahl from the Prophet ﷺ. Some have narrated it from Nafi' b. Jubair on the authority of Sahl b. Sa'd. There is a variation in the chain of its narrators.
النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا لاَ يَقْطَعُ الشَّيْطَانُ عَلَيْهِ صَلاَتَهُ
When one of you prays, he should pray facing the sutrah (screen or covering) and he should keep himself close to it. He then narrated the tradition to the same effect.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ وَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ سَاقَ مَعْنَاهُ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالدُّنُوِّ مِنَ السُّتْرَةِ إِذَا صَلَّى إِلَيْهَا
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘When anyone of you performs prayer, let him pray facing towards a Sutrah, and let him get close to it, and not let anyone pass in front of him. If someone comes and wants to pass in front of him, let him fight him, for he is a Shaitan (satan).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 954)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى سُتْرَةٍ فَلْيَدْنُ مِنْهَا فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَمُرُّ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَهَا وَلَا يَدَعْ أَحَدًا يَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ»
ذِكْرُ الْعِلَّةِ الَّتِي مِنْ أَجْلِهَا أَمَرَ بِالدُّنُوِّ مِنَ السُّتْرَةِ لِلْمُصَلِّي
"When anyone of you prays toward a Sutra, let him get close to it and not allow the Shaitan to sever his prayer for him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 748)

ذِكْرُ كَرَاهِيَةِ تَبَاعُدِ الْمُصَلِّي عَنِ السُّتْرَةِ إِذَا اسْتَتَرَ بِهَا
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘When anyone of you performs prayer, let him pray facing towards a Sutrah, and let him get close to it, and not let anyone pass in front of him.

"إِذا صلّى أحدُكُمْ فليُصلِّ إلى سُتْرة ولْيدْنُ منْها فإنَّ الشَّيطانَ يَمُرُّ بَينَه وبَينها".
