مُسْنَدُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَكْوَعِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ
Three-Narrator Ahadith 289
Salamah ibn al-Akwaʿ (may Allah be pleased with him) was keen to pray at the place where the muṣḥaf was kept, and he mentioned that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was keen to pray in that same place; and there was, between the pulpit and the qiblah wall, a gap through which a sheep could pass. Reference: Musnad Aḥmad 289
حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ «يَتَحَرَّى مَوْضِعَ الْمُصْحَفِ، وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ» ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَالْقِبْلَةِ مَمَرُّ شَاةٍ
