Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn Isma’il and Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Sufyan al- Simt who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘When you enter the Masjid through the second door on the right of the Masjid, count five pillars, two in shadow and three in the open compound, near the third is the station of Ibrahim, Allah has granted him peace. It is the fifth from the wall.’ He (narrator) has said, ‘During the rule of abu al-‘Abbas, abu ‘Abd Allah, entered through al-fil door, bore to the left on entering the door and performed Salah (prayer) near the fourth pillar which is opposite to the fifth pillar.’ I then asked, ‘Is this the pillar of Ibrahim?’ He replied, ‘Yes, it is.’”
