Mounted Prayer

"Narrated `Abdullah bin 'Amir from his father who said:\n\nI saw the Prophet (p.b.u.h) offering the prayer on his mount (Rahila) whatever direction it took.\n\nNarrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:\n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) used to offer the Nawafil, while riding, facing a direction other than that of the Qibla.\n\nNarrated Nafi`:\n\nIbn `Umar (while on a journey) used to offer the prayer and the witr on his mount (Rahila). He said that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to do so.\n\nNarrated `Abdullah bin Dinar:\n\nOn traveling, `Abdullah bin `Umar used to offer the prayer on his Mount by signs whatever direction it took. `Abdullah said that the Prophet (ﷺ) used to do so.\n\nNarrated 'Amir bin Rabi`a:\n\nI saw the Prophet (ﷺ) on his Mount praying Nawafil by nodding his head, whatever direction he faced, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never did the same in offering the compulsory prayers.\n\nNarrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:\n\nThe Prophet (ﷺ) used to pray (the Nawafil) on his Mount facing east and whenever he wanted to offer the compulsory prayer, he used to dismount and face the Qibla.\n\nNarrated Anas bin Seereen:\n\nWe went to receive Anas bin Malik when he returned from Sham and met him at a place called 'Ainat-Tamr. I saw him praying riding the donkey, with his face to this direction, i.e. to the left of the Qibla. I said to him, \"I have seen you offering the prayer in a direction other than that of the Qibla.\" He replied, \"If I had not seen Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) doing it, I would not have done it.\"\n\nNarrated Hafs bin `Asim:\n\nIbn `Umar went on a journey and said, \"I accompanied the Prophet (ﷺ) and he did not offer optional prayers during the journey, and Allah says: 'Verily! In Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) you have a good example to follow.'\" (33.21)\n\nNarrated Ibn `Umar:\n\nI accompanied Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he never offered more than two rak`at during the journey. Abu Bakr, `Umar and `Uthman used to do the same.\n\nNarrated Ibn Abu Laila:\n\nOnly Um Hani told us that she had seen the Prophet (p.b.u.h) offering the Duha (forenoon prayer). She said, \"On the day of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet (ﷺ) took a bath in my house and offered eight rak`at. I never saw him praying such a light prayer but he performed perfect prostration and bowing.\n\nNarrated Salim bin `Abdullah:\n\nIbn `Umar said, \"Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to pray the Nawafil on the back of his Mount (carriage) by signs facing any direction.\" Ibn `Umar used to do the same."
