حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ عَنِ الْمُهَلَّبِ بْنِ حُجْرٍ الْبَهْرَانِيِّ عَنْ ضُبَاعَةَ بِنْتِ الْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ عَنْ أَبِيهَا قَالَ
مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي إِلَى عُودٍ وَلاَ عَمُودٍ وَلاَ شَجَرَةٍ إِلاَّ جَعَلَهُ عَلَى حَاجِبِهِ الأَيْمَنِ أَوِ الأَيْسَرِ وَلاَ يَصْمُدُ لَهُ صَمْدًا

I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ praying in front of a stick, a pillar, or a tree, without having it opposite his right or left eyebrow, and not facing it directly.
