حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ حَنْبَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي كَثِيرُ بْنُ كَثِيرِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ بْنِ أَبِي وَدَاعَةَ، عَنْ بَعْضِ، أَهْلِي عَنْ جَدِّهِ، أَنَّهُ رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي مِمَّا يَلِي بَابَ بَنِي سَهْمٍ وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَيْسَ بَيْنَهُمَا سُتْرَةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ لَيْسَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ الْكَعْبَةِ سُتْرَةٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عَنْهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا كَثِيرٌ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ فَقَالَ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَبِي سَمِعْتُهُ وَلَكِنْ مِنْ بَعْضِ أَهْلِي عَنْ جَدِّي ‏.‏
He saw that the Prophet (ﷺ) was praying at the place adjacent to the gate of Banu Sahm and the people were passing before him, and there was no covering (sutrah) between them. The narrator Sufyan said: There was no covering between him and the Ka'bah. Sufyan said: Ibn Juraij reported us stating that Kathir reported on the authority of his father saying: I did not hear my father say, but I heard some of my people on the authority of my grandfather.
