Sunan Ibn Majah 1430 (Book 5, Hadith 628) #30782
Seeking Out Prayer Places

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) seeking out a specific place in the mosque to pray.

It was narrated from Yazid bin Abu 'Ubaid that Salamah bin Al-Akwa’ used to offer the Duha prayer, and he would come to the pillar that was near the Mushaf. I said to him: "Why do you not pray over there?" And I pointed to some corner of the mosque. He said: "I saw the Messenger of Allah seeking out this place".
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ كَاسِبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ الأَكْوَعِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْتِي إِلَى سُبْحَةِ الضُّحَى فَيَعْمِدُ إِلَى الأُسْطُوَانَةِ دُونَ الْمُصْحَفِ فَيُصَلِّي قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا فَأَقُولُ لَهُ أَلاَ تُصَلِّي هَا هُنَا وَأُشِيرُ إِلَى بَعْضِ نَوَاحِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ـ يَتَحَرَّى هَذَا الْمُقَامَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of the importance of prayer and how it should be done in a specific place. It was narrated from Yazid bin Abu 'Ubaid that Salamah bin Al-Akwa used to offer the Duha prayer, and he would come to the pillar that was near the Mushaf. When asked why he did not pray elsewhere, he said that he saw Prophet Muhammad seeking out this particular spot for his prayers. This shows us how important it is to find a special place for our prayers as it helps us focus on our supplications better. It also teaches us respect for mosques as they are places where we can connect with Allah through prayer and supplication.
