It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "A boy from Banu Hashim and I came riding on a donkey, and we passed in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying. Then we dismounted from it and left the donkey there to graze on the greenery of the earth (or he said: the plants of the earth), and we joined him (peace and blessings be upon him) in the prayer." A man asked: Was there a short staff (as a sutrah) in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at that time? He replied: "No."
