Awn bin Abi Juhayfah narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was at al-Batha' when Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came and called the adhan. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called for water for ablution and performed ablution. The people would take the water of the ablution of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and rub it on themselves. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) took the spear and walked along with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he planted it in front of him and prayed two rak'ahs. In front of him (peace and blessings be upon him) was the spiked staff, and women, donkeys and camels kept passing on the other side of it.
(b) Shu'bah reported this narration from Awn, through his father, saying that women and donkeys (and the like) kept passing behind the spear.
