Praying on a Mount

SUMMARY: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to pray atop his mount while traveling, facing whatever direction it was facing, but he did not pray the prescribed prayers atop it.

It was narrated that Abdullah said: "The messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) used to pray atop his mount while traveling, facing whatever direction it was facing, and he would pray witr atop it, but he did not pray the prescribed prayers atop it ".
أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يُصَلِّي عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ قِبَلَ أَىِّ وَجْهٍ تَوَجَّهُ بِهِ وَيُوتِرُ عَلَيْهَا غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لاَ يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهَا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive for convenience and ease when performing religious duties and obligations .

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith narrated by Abdullah states that the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ used to pray atop his mount while traveling. This means that he would perform his prayer in whatever direction the mount was facing, as opposed to having to face towards Mecca. However, he did not perform the prescribed prayers on top of the mount. This teaches us that we should always strive for convenience and ease when performing our religious duties and obligations. We should also remember that even though we may be able to make things easier for ourselves in certain situations, there are still some rules and regulations which must be followed in order for our actions to be considered valid according to Islamic law.
