[Machine] I went to the market and met the Prophet ﷺ with his companions. I asked them where he intended to go. They said he was planning to build a mosque for his people. So, I returned and found my people standing up. I asked them what was wrong, and they replied, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew a line for us with his foot and set up a wooden plank as a qibla."

ذَهَبْتُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَلَقِيتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ سَأَلْتُهُمْ أَيْنَ يُرِيدُ؟ فَقَالُوا يَخُطُّ لِقَوْمِكَ مَسْجِدًا فَرَجَعْتُ فَوَجَدْتُ قَوْمِي قِيَامًا فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُكُمْ؟ فَقَالُوا «خَطَّ لَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَسْجِدًا بِرِجْلِهِ وَأَقَامَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ خَشَبَةً غَرَزَهَا فِيهِ»

[Machine] I met the Prophet ﷺ with his companions in the market, so I asked the companions of the Messenger of Allah, where does he want to go? They said he wants to draw a mosque for your people. So I went back and found my people standing, so I said, what is wrong with you? They said, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew a mosque for us and stuck a board in it, where he established it.
