Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شُعْبَةَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي التَّيَّاحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَبْنِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ يُصَلِّي فِي مَرَابِضِ الْغَنَمِ.
English Translation
Hajjaj told us, he said: I heard Shu'bah narrating from Abu al-Tayyah, who said: I heard Anas ibn Malik say, "The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, before he built the mosque, used to pray in the folds where the sheep rested."
