Mukhtasar Bukhari (Abridged) 316 — Praying facing a pillar

Narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to pray near the pillar which was close to the Mushaf (in Masjid Nabawi). So he was asked, “O Abu Muslim! (I, Yazid bin Abi Ubaidah,) see that you try to pray near this pillar?” He replied, “I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) trying to pray near it.”
