Those who permitted praying in one place

Jamhan said: Many times I saw Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) come to the mosque while the people were praying. He would walk between the row and the wall until he reached his place of prayer. He used to pray by the fifth pillar.

Ubaydullah bin Abi Yazid said: I saw Sayyiduna al-Miswar bin Makhramah (may Allah be pleased with him), after the congregation had stood up, pass between the rows until he reached the first or the second row.

Muhammad bin Salih said: I saw al-Qasim bin Muhammad praying at one particular place in the mosque; he would not pray anywhere other than that place. I also saw Sa'id bin al-Musayyib doing the same.
