حَدَّثَنَاه مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّی حَدَّثَنَا مَکِّيٌّ قَالَ يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا قَالَ کَانَ سَلَمَةُ يَتَحَرَّی الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ الَّتِي عِنْدَ الْمُصْحَفِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَبَا مُسْلِمٍ أَرَاکَ تَتَحَرَّی الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَ هَذِهِ الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَتَحَرَّی الصَّلَاةَ عِنْدَهَا
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 1136
Salama b. 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 ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) sought that place and that was between the pulpit and the qibla-a place where a goat could pass.
