Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
What is it?
The questioner:
It is a recommended practice (sunnah) for a man to carry a stick in the wilderness.
The Shaykh:
I know that in the wilderness and in the city alike, there is no harm in taking it, and there is no harm in leaving it, except if he needs it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sometimes carried it and sometimes left it, and he prayed with it. He did not always carry it and pray with it.
