Hadith 30698
“When the Prophet (ﷺ) prayed
on
the day of ‘Eid or on another occasion, a small spear was set up in
front of him, and he prayed facing it, and the people were behind
him.”
Nafi` said: It is from here that the leaders have taken this practice.
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 503

It was
narrated from Ibn ‘Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used
to
set out for the praying place in the morning of the day of ‘Eid,
and a small spear would be carried before him. When he reached the
praying place, it would be set up in front of him, then he would pray
facing it, and that was because the praying place was an open space
in
which there was nothing that could serve as a Sutrah*.
*Sutrah (screen), meaning a barrier of some type. Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 502
