٤ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْعَلاءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ حَدِّ مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ (صلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ الأُسْطُوَانَةُ الَّتِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِ الْقَبْرِ إِلَى الأُسْطُوَانَتَيْنِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْمِنْبَرِ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْقِبْلَةِ وَكَانَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الْمِنْبَرِ طَرِيقٌ تَمُرُّ فِيهِ الشَّاةُ وَيَمُرُّ الرَّجُلُ مُنْحَرِفاً وَكَانَ سَاحَةُ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنَ الْبَلاطِ إِلَى الصَّحْنِ.
4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn, from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-‘Ala’ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has narrated the following in a Mudmar manner: “I once asked him (the Imam) , about the limits of the Masjid of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause. He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is from the pillar near the head of the grave to the two pillars behind the pulpit from the right side of the direction of Ka‘bah. Behind the pulpit there is a passageway through which a sheep or man can pass obliquely. The courtyard of the Masjid was tiled with al-Balat (name of a place in al-Madinah) stones.’”
