Isḥāq ibn Ibrāhīm and Muḥammad ibn al-Muthannā narrated to us — and the wording is that of Ibn al-Muthannā — Isḥāq said: informed us, and Ibn al-Muthannā said: narrated to us Ḥammād ibn Mas'adah, from Yazīd — meaning Ibn Abī 'Ubayd — from Salamah — and he is Ibn al-Akwa' — that he used to deliberately seek out the place where the muṣḥaf was located to perform the glorification prayer (tasbīḥ) there. And he mentioned that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to deliberately seek out that place, and the distance between the minbar and the qiblah was the measure of the passage of a sheep.
