Did Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) have a shadow before prophethood?

Some scholars have inferred that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, had no shadow at all, because he was light. So, when he walked in the sun or the moon, no shadow appeared for him. It was narrated from Dhakwan that he said: "No shadow of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was seen in the sun or the moon, so that no disbeliever would step on it, which would be a humiliation for him." There is no firm evidence for this statement from the Sunnah.
