Sunan Ibn Majah 1304 (Book 5, Hadith 502) #30656
Using a Spear as a Sutrah

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to carry a spear with him when he went to the prayer place on Eid and would use it as a Sutrah (screen).

It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allah used to set out for the praying place in the morning of the day of 'Eid, and a small spear would be carried before him. When he reached the praying place, it would be set up in front of him, then he would pray facing it, and that was because the praying place was an open space in which there was nothing that could serve as a Sutrah*. *Sutrah (screen), meaning a barrier of some type.
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنِي نَافِعٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ كَانَ يَغْدُو إِلَى الْمُصَلَّى فِي يَوْمِ الْعِيدِ وَالْعَنَزَةُ تُحْمَلُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ الْمُصَلَّى نُصِبَتْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ الْمُصَلَّى كَانَ فَضَاءً لَيْسَ فِيهِ شَىْءٌ يُسْتَتَرُ بِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
On the day of Eid, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would go to the praying place in the morning and carry with him a small spear. When he reached his destination, he would set up the spear in front of him and pray facing it. This was because there was nothing else that could serve as a barrier or screen between himself and those who were not praying. This teaches us that we should always be mindful of our surroundings when we are engaging in prayer so that we can focus on our worship without any distractions.
