Sayyiduna Abu Juhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) went out towards Batha at noon, performed ablution, and offered two rak‘ahs of Zuhr prayer and two rak‘ahs of ‘Asr prayer, while there was a spear (as a sutrah) in front of him, and behind it women and donkeys kept passing by. Then the people stood up and began to take hold of the Prophet’s hand and rub it on their faces. I also took hold of his hand and placed it on my face (and felt that) it was cooler than ice and more fragrant than musk.
