It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said (concerning the special place built in the mosque for the rulers): "I do not like to pray in this closed-off room of theirs." The narrator states that by this he (may Allah be pleased with him) meant the "maqsurah" (that is, the part of the mosque that has been separated from the ordinary worshippers by a wall or a railing).
Imam Musaddad bin Musarhad narrated this report in his Musnad. Its chain mentions one of the children of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) who is unnamed (mubham); however, the meaning of the statement is clear and reliable.
