Sahih al-Bukhari
Sahih al-Bukhari 497
What should be the distance between the person offering Salat (prayer) and the Sutra?
Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ، قَالَكَانَ جِدَارُ الْمَسْجِدِ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ مَا كَادَتِ الشَّاةُ تَجُوزُهَا.
Translation
Narrated Salama
The distance between the wall of the mosque and the pulpit was hardly enough for a sheep to pass through.
