Hadith 16516

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مَكِّيٌّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ آتِي مَعَ سَلَمَةَ الْمَسْجِدَ ، فَيُصَلِّي مَعَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ الْمُصْحَفِ ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ ، أَرَاكَ تَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ ؟ ، قَالَ : " فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّى الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَهَا " .
Yazid bin Abu Ubaid (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I used to come to the mosque with Sayyiduna Salamah bin Akwa’ (may Allah be pleased with him), and he would pray near the pillar that was close to the Mushaf. I asked him: O Abu Muslim! I see you giving special attention to this pillar; what is the reason for this? He replied: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praying with special attention near this pillar.
