Using Animals as Sutras for Prayer

SUMMARY: Abdullah ibn Umar used the animal he was riding as a sutra when he prayed.

Yahya related to me from Malik that he had heard that Abdullah ibn Umar would use the animal he was riding as a sutra when he prayed.
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، كَانَ يَسْتَتِرُ بِرَاحِلَتِهِ إِذَا صَلَّى

QUICK LESSONS:
Be creative in your worship of Allah; Make use of whatever resources are available during prayer time; Strive to make your prayers more meaningful by being mindful of your surroundings.

EXPLANATIONS:
Abdullah ibn Umar was a companion of Prophet Muhammad and an influential figure in Islamic history. He is known to have used the animal he was riding as a sutra when praying. A sutra is an object placed between the worshipper and the qibla, which is the direction Muslims face while praying. This hadith teaches us that we should be creative in our worship of Allah, even if it means using something unconventional like an animal one is riding as a sutra for prayer. It also shows us that we should always strive to make our prayers more meaningful by being mindful of our surroundings and making use of whatever resources are available to us during prayer time.
