Chapter: Drawing A Line If One Does Not Find A Stick.
Sunan Abu Dawud 691 — Drawing A Line If One Does Not Find A Stick
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الزُّهْرِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، قَالَ : " رَأَيْتُ شَرِيكًا صَلَّى بِنَا فِي جَنَازَةٍ الْعَصْرَ ، فَوَضَعَ قَلَنْسُوَتَهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ " ، يَعْنِي فِي فَرِيضَةٍ حَضَرَتْ .
Sufyan bin Uyainah said: I saw Sharik who led us in the Asr prayer during a funeral ceremony. He placed his cap in front of him, that is, for saying the obligatory prayer the time of which had come.

The Sunnah regarding the sutrah is that it should be at least the height of one hand, but if nothing is available, then even something less than this will suffice.
