حَدَّثَنَاه مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيٌّ ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا ، قَالَ : " كَانَ سَلَمَةُ ، يَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ الأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ الْمُصْحَفِ ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ ، أَرَاكَ تَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ الأُسْطُوَانَةِ ، قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَهَا " .
Yazid reported: Salama sought to say prayer near the pillar which was by that place where copies of the Qur'an were kept. I said to him: Abu Muslim. I see you striving to offer your prayer by this pillar. He said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) seeking to pray by its side.
