English Translation

It was narrated from 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (رضي الله عنهما) — [via Musa ibn 'Uqba, from] Salim — that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ faced the two notches [furdhatayn] of the long mountain in front of the Ka'ba, placing the mosque that was built to his right. The mosque stands at the edge of the hill, and the prayer-place of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is lower than it — on the black hill — about ten cubits or so from the edge of the hill. He would pray facing the two notches of the long mountain that lies between him and the Ka'ba.
