حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاق بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَاللَّفْظُ لِابْنِ الْمُثَنَّى ، قَالَ إِسْحَاق : أَخْبَرَنَا ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الأَكْوَعِ ، " أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَحَرَّى مَوْضِعَ مَكَانِ الْمُصْحَفِ يُسَبِّحُ فِيهِ ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يَتَحَرَّى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْمِنْبَرِ ، وَالْقِبْلَةِ ، قَدْرُ مَمَرِّ الشَّاةِ " .
Salama bin Akwa' reported: He sought the place (in the mosque) where the copies of the Qur'an were kept and glorified Allah there, and the narrator made a mention that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sought that place and that was between the pulpit and the qibla-a place where a goat could pass.
