that the Prophet (prohibited a man from sitting or reclining between the shade and the sun.

For this reasoning has no apparent connection to the seat of Satan. And Allāh knows best. (Note): I mentioned under the previous ḥadīth (837) that Ibn al-Munkadir had heard from Abū Hurayrah, and that was an error on my part, I ask Allāh to forgive me, and this note was among the reasons for including it here. *
