Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَحَرَّى مَوْضِعَ الْمُصْحَفِ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَالْقِبْلَةِ مَمَرُّ شَاةٍ
English Translation
Ḥammād ibn Masʿadah narrated to us, from Yazīd, from Salamah, that he used to deliberately choose the spot near the Muṣḥaf [to pray]. He mentioned that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to deliberately choose that spot. Between the minbar and the qiblah there was room for a sheep to pass.
