His statement in the hadith: (He prayed for the people in Mina without a wall) — does this indicate that he prayed without a sutrah?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : In the hadith
The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said prayer towards the camel. أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم صلى لغير جدار
Sahih Muslim 502b
, and the chapter heading by Imam al-Bukhari that the imam’s sutrah is a sutrah for those behind him, there is no sutrah for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as the hadith explicitly states.

The Shaykh : What? No?

The questioner : There is no sutrah for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as the hadith explicitly states
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was offering the prayer at Mina. There was no wall in front of him أنه صلى بمنى الى غير جدار
Sahih al-Bukhari 76
?

The Shaykh : Yes, these people say that the negation of the wall does not necessitate the negation of the sutrah, as he may have been screened by a pillar. Yes, Salim.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, yes. He held that his statement
Without a wall إلى غير جدار
does not preclude him from having another sutrah. Yes.
