Musnad Ahmad 1436 (Book 7, Hadith 29) #35055
Seeking Shade After Jumuah Prayer

SUMMARY: The Prophet (PBUH) used to lead the Jumuah prayer and afterwards, people would seek shade but only find a small area of shade.

Muslim bin Jundub narrated: Someone who heard him told me that az-Zubair bin al 'Awwam (رضي الله عنه) said: "We used to pray Jumu’ah with the Prophet , then we would leave and seek the shade of the fortress, but we would not find any shade except (an area) the width of our feet.
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمُ بْنُ جُنْدُبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مَنْ، سَمِعَ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ نُبَادِرُ فَمَا نَجِدُ مِنْ الظِّلِّ إِلَّا مَوْضِعَ أَقْدَامِنَا أَوْ قَالَ فَلَا نَجِدُ مِنْ الظِّلِّ مَوْضِعَ أَقْدَامِنَا‏.‏
