A mushaf or other object placed towards the qiblah

Mujahid said: When Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) entered a room and saw a copy of the Qur'an or something like it in the direction of the qiblah, he would remove it from there. If the copy of the Qur'an was on his right or left, he would leave it where it was.

Ibrahim used to consider it disliked that a man should pray while a copy of the Qur'an or some such thing is placed in the direction of the qibla.

Shu'bah said: I asked al-Hakam and Hammad: if a person prays in such a way that a copy of the Qur'an is placed towards the qibla, how is that? They said: It is disliked.

Mujahid said: The predecessors used to consider it disliked that there be anything between those praying and the qibla, to the extent that they disliked even placing a copy of the Qur'an there.
