Answer
Zakwaan reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not have a shadow. This narration is recorded by Hakim Tirmidhi. (Seek al-Khasaaisul Kubrah of Suyyooti vol.1 pg.164; Subulul Hudaa war rashaad vol.2 pg.90 and Sharh zarqaani alal mawaahib vol.7 pg.200)
Imam Zurqaani also states that Imaams ibnul Jawzi and ibnul Mubaarak have reported on the authority of Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbaas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) did not have a shadow. (Sharhu Zurqaani vol.7 pg.200.
However, the authenticity of these narrators still remain unclear to us.
