وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ يَقُولُ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي مِمَّا يَلِي بَابَ بَنِي سَهْمٍ وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ سُتْرَةٌ
Once, Imam Sufyan said: Kathir bin Kathir narrated to me through a transmitter who heard from his grandfather, he says: I saw the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, praying near the door of Banu Sahm. People were passing in front of him, and there was no barrier (sutrah) between the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and the Ka'bah.
