Sahih al-Bukhari 497
Sahih al-Bukhari · Book 8: Prayers (Salat) · What should be the distance between the person offering Salat (prayer) and the Sutra?
Narrated Salama:
حَدَّثَنَا الْمَكِّيُّ ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ كَانَ جِدَارُ الْمَسْجِدِ عِنْدَ الْمِنْبَرِ مَا كَادَتِ الشَّاةُ تَجُوزُهَا.
The distance between the wall of the mosque and the pulpit was hardly enough for a sheep to pass through.
