حَدَّثَنَا الْمَکِّيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ کُنْتُ آتِي مَعَ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الْأَکْوَعِ فَيُصَلِّي عِنْدَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ الْمُصْحَفِ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ أَرَاکَ تَتَحَرَّی الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّی الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَهَا
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 502
Narrated Yazid bin Al `Ubaid: I used to accompany Salama bin Al-Akwa` and he used to pray behind the pillar which was near the place where the Qur'ans were kept. I said, "O Abu Muslim! I see you always seeking to pray behind this pillar." He replied, "I saw Allah's Apostle always seeking to pray near that pillar."
