He sought the place (in the mosque) where the copies of the Qur'an were kept and glorified Allah there, and the narrator made a mention that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sought that place and that was between the pulpit and the qibla-a place where a goat could pass.  

مسلم:٥٠٩aحَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى وَاللَّفْظُ لاِبْنِ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا وَقَالَ ابْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ مَسْعَدَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الأَكْوَعِ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَتَحَرَّى مَوْضِعَ مَكَانِ الْمُصْحَفِ يُسَبِّحُ فِيهِ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَتَحَرَّى ذَلِكَ الْمَكَانَ وَكَانَ بَيْنَ الْمِنْبَرِ وَالْقِبْلَةِ قَدْرُ مَمَرِّ الشَّاةِ
