The Prophet (ﷺ) used to make his she-camel sit across and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra)." I asked, "What would the Prophet (ﷺ) do if the she-camel was provoked and moved?" He said, "He would take its camel-saddle and put it in front of him and pray facing its back part

أنه كان يعرض راحلته فيصلي إليها ، قلت : أفرأيت إذا هبت الركاب ؟ ، قال : كان يأخذ هذا الرحل فيعدله فيصلي إلى آخرته - أو قال : مؤخره -
