287 صحيح حديث سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ قَالَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ: كُنْتُ آتِي مَعَ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ الْمُصْحَفِ، فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ أَرَاكَ تَتَحَرَّى الصَّلاَةَ عِنْدَ هذِهِ الأُسْطُوَانَةِ قَالَ: فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّى الصَّلاَةَ عِنْدهَا
Hazrat Yazid bin Abi Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated that I used to attend (the Prophet’s Mosque) with Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna Salamah would always pray facing the pillar where the Qur’an was kept. I said to him, “O Abu Muslim, I see that you always pray facing this pillar.” He replied, “I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) specifically pray facing this pillar.”
Brief Explanation
During the era of Sayyiduna Uthman Ghani radi Allahu anhu, the Noble Qur’an used to be kept in a box near a pillar in Masjid Nabawi. That pillar was called the “Pillar of the Mushaf”; it is being mentioned here. (Raaz)
