#SUTRA Sutra is something (free from impurities) that a person praying MUST places in front of him/her, while he/she prays facing it. The messenger of Allah sallaallaahu alaihi wasallaam never prayed, unless he uses a SUTRA. This SUTRA must be at least ONE FOOT in length and must be in a standing position (perpendicular to the ground). Evidence for this is the hadith reported in Sahih Bukhari, Volume 01,09. Prayer Hall (Sutra), Hadith 485:- Narrated Nafi`: The Prophet used to make his she-camel sit across and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra). I asked, What would the Prophet do if the she-camel was provoked and moved? He said, He would take its camel-saddle and put it in front of him and pray facing its back part (as a Sutra). And Ibn `Umar used to do the same. (This indicates that one should not pray except behind a Sutra). It is haraam to pass between a praying Parson and his/her SUTRA. Evidence for this is the hadith reported in Sahih Bukhari, Volume 01,09. Prayer Hall (Sutra),Hadith 488, 489; Narrated Abu Salih As-Samman: I saw Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri praying on a Friday, behind something which acted as a Sutra. A young man from Bani Abi Muait [??] , wanted to pass in front of him, but Abu Sa`id repulsed him with a push on his chest. Finding no alternative he again tried to pass but Abu Sa`id pushed him with a greater force. The young man abused Abu Sa`id and went to Marwan and lodged a complaint against Abu Sa`id and Abu Sa`id followed the young man to Marwan who asked him, O Abu Sa`id! What has happened between you and the son of your brother? Abu Sa`id said to him, I heard the Prophet saying, If anybody amongst you is praying behind something as a Sutra and somebody tries to pass in front of him, then he should repulse him and if he refuses, he should use force against him for he is a Shaitan (a Satan). Narrated Busr bin Sa`id: that Zaid bin Khalid sent him to Abi Juhaim to ask him what he had heard from Allahs Apostle about a person passing in front of another person who was praying. Abu Juhaim replied, Allahs Apostle said, If the person who passes in front of another person in prayer knew the magnitude of his sin he would prefer to wait for 40 (days, months or years) rather than to pass in front of him. Abu An-Nadr said, I do not remember exactly whether he said 40 days, months or years. Allah knows Best. #MK
