Hadith 943
Da’if — Darussalam
What suffices as a Sutrah (screen) for one performing Prayer
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When
anyone of you performs prayer, let him put something in front of him.
If he cannot find anything then let him put a stick. If he cannot
find
one, then let him draw a line. Then it will not matter if
anything
passes in front of him.”
Passing in front of someone who is performing Prayer
Busr bin
Sa’eed said: “They sent me to Zaid bin Khalid to ask him
about
passing in front of one who is performing prayer. He told me
that the
Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Waiting for forty is better than passing
in
front of one who is performing prayer.’”
(One of the narrators) Sufyan said: "I do not know if he meant forty years, months, days, or hours."
