Re: Can someone please substantiate/confirm

So far my understanding is leading me to conclude that RasoolAllah (SAW) did have a shadow like any normal entity with form. However, at certain times when you would expect a shadow to be present, he was noted for not having a shadow. Just as the ahadith indicate the light levels from his person would alter likewise it is possible that so would his shadow not always be present. I have no reason to disbelieve that either are not from his (SAW) miracles.

The matter of the shadow may not be always true or always untrue and by holding such a position no Hadith needs to be rejected.

In terms of the OP … It appears it is unlikely that RasoolAllah’s (SAW) shadow was never cast … But it is based on evidence to suggest that at times it should have been there but wasn’t. Literally speaking the Urdu says cast on the floor … But I feel that is just an Urdu rendition and really has nothing to do with floor’s anyway.

i think you will fall foul of the hadiths with that understanding [not saying you have to match all [those] hadiths]
