A forgotten Sunnah !
Today my article is going to be a about a Sunnah that is forgotten by most except some of us who are guided by Allah to follow many sunnahs. The forgotten Sunnah which I am writing today is about "As Suthra", Some of you might have heard this word "As Suthra" while others might have not even heard of it. Let us Study this sunnah using Ahadeeth!
What is "As Suthra" and what should i use as"As Suthra" ?
The sutrah is a confirmed Sunnah (Sunnah mu’akkadah). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When one of you prays, let him pray facing a sutrah, and let him draw close to it.” Narrated by Abu Dawood with a jayyid isnaad.
And in another situation he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Let one of you use a sutrah when praying, even if it is an arrow.” Narrated by Ahmad and by al Hakim
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In this hadeeth it is recommended to have a sutrah in front of the one who is praying, and it explains that the minimum sutrah is the back of a saddle, which is the length of the forearm, or approximately two thirds of a cubit. This purpose may be served by anything that he sets up in front of him.
from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was asked about the sutrah for one who is praying and he said: “Like the back of a saddle.” Narrated by Muslim (771).
With regard to whether it should be thick or thin, there is no definition that we are aware of. It may be thin like an arrow or a spear, or it may be thick like a wall. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to use a short spear as a sutrah.
It is Sunnah for the worshipper, if he is praying alone or as an imam, to have a sutrah in front of him that will prevent people from walking in front of him, and to enable him to focus properly on the actions of the prayer.
What is "As Suthra" and what should i use as"As Suthra" ?
The suthra is mustahabb according to the majority of fuqaha’, The sutrah is a sort of partition in front of him to prevent people from walking in front of him and to enable him to focus properly on the actions of the prayer.
The sutrah is a confirmed Sunnah (Sunnah mu’akkadah). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When one of you prays, let him pray facing a sutrah, and let him draw close to it.” Narrated by Abu Dawood with a jayyid isnaad.
And in another situation he (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Let one of you use a sutrah when praying, even if it is an arrow.” Narrated by Ahmad and by al Hakim
Al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In this hadeeth it is recommended to have a sutrah in front of the one who is praying, and it explains that the minimum sutrah is the back of a saddle, which is the length of the forearm, or approximately two thirds of a cubit. This purpose may be served by anything that he sets up in front of him.
from ‘Aa’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) who said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) was asked about the sutrah for one who is praying and he said: “Like the back of a saddle.” Narrated by Muslim (771).
With regard to whether it should be thick or thin, there is no definition that we are aware of. It may be thin like an arrow or a spear, or it may be thick like a wall. The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used to use a short spear as a sutrah.
Why is "As Suthra" So important?
It was narrated that Sahl ibn Sa’d said: Between the place where the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) prayed and the wall was a space that would allow a sheep to pass. (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 474; Muslim, 508).
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) who said: “When one of you prays facing a sutrah, let him draw close to it so that the Shaytaan will not interrupt his prayer.” Classed as hasan by Ibn ‘Abd al-Barr in al-Tamheed (4/195); classed as saheeh by al-Nawawi in al-Majmoo ‘ (4/195) and by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood.
It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed ‘Eid at the prayer place, using a small spear as a Sutrah.(ibn Majah)
It was narrated in al-Saheeh that Abu Juhaym said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a person who passes in front of someone who is praying knew (the burden of sin) that he bears, he would rather stand for forty than pass in front of him.” Abu al-Nadr said, “I do not know whether he said forty days or months or years.” (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, al-Salaah, 480; Muslim, al-Salaah, 507).
The seriousness of "As Suthra"
Allah knows the best

Effortless Charity that helps one to increase his/her good deeds!!
Today morning I met two young and beautiful girls who were leaving to their secondary school where I smiled at them but they refused to return a smile to me which is not that costly. Then I had thought of those old days where people who even don't know the languages and are not known to each other or from a different culture; used smile at us and everyone had the habit of returning the smile which made the world and the days beautiful and positive. I think the world became a place where collecting material things have become the priority over everything and are always busy with their world and refused to give others even a small charity "Smile".
Narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily you cannot afford to make people happy with your wealth, but you can make them happy with you by means of a cheerful face and good attitude.” Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Targheeb (2661).
Countless scientific studies have confirmed that a genuine smile is generally considered attractive to others around us. Other studies have shed light on how the act of smiling can elevate your mood and the mood of those around you. Still. others have found a strong link between good health, longevity, and smiling. Most importantly, studies have shown that just the act of smiling (making the physical facial shapes and movements), whether the result of real joy or an act, can have both short- and long-term benefits on people's health and well being.
The believer according to the teaching of Islam must be good-natured, treat others kindly, be gentle, be cheerful, and feel at ease with people. He should be neither harsh and rough nor soft and foolish; he should not seek to please people by doing that which incurs the wrath of Allah, and he should not fear the blame of anyone for the sake of Allah. Righteousness should not prevent him from smiling or having a sense of humour and the ability to joke, and it should not prompt him to be isolated from people and refrain from mixing with them; rather he mixes with people, greets them, smiles at them these are the list of thing which is expected by Allah and His Messenger from the true believer!
May Allah help us attain these beautiful characteristics
Smile "It is a Sunnah" At-Tirmidhi (1956) narrated that Abu Dharr said: The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Your smiling at your brother is an act of charity.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said "Do not regard any good deed insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face" Source: Sahih Muslim 2626, Grade Sahih
Charity, as it is traditionally understood, consists of money or various objects given by the rich to help the poor or by the strong to help the weak.But Islam beautifies its meaning as"Charity has a physical and a spiritual dimension which are thus fused into one so that a person can say in giving charity: Take this Money or take this helping hand or take this feeling!"
Jabir ibn Abdullah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:Every good deed is charity. Verily, it is a good deed to meet your brother with a smiling face, and to pour what is left from your bucket into the vessel of your brother.Source: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 1970, Grade Sahih
Jabir ibn Abdullah reported:Ever since I embraced Islam the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would never avoid me and I would not see him except with a smile on his face.Source: Sahih Muslim 2475, Grade sahih
Abdullah ibn Al-Harith reported:I have not seen anyone smile more often than the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhi 3641, Grade hasan
The Prophet Muhammad [PBUH] said: "Do not abuse anyone, do not look down upon any good work, and when you speak to your brother, show him a cheerful face."[Sunan of Abu-Dawood, Hadith 1889]
Al-Bukhaari (6035) and Muslim (2321) narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “Verily the best of you are those who are best in attitude.”
From above Ahadeeths it is more clear “Your smiling at your brother is an act of charity.” So Let us beautify the world with our smile and gain reward
May Allah accept our efforts and make us of the best people!
Islam is the best.
