352/451 عن داود بن قيس قال:" رايت الحجرات من جريد النخل" مغشيا من خارج بمسوح الشعر، واظن عرض البيت من باب الحجرة إلى باب البيت نحوا من ست او سبع اذرع، واحزر البيت لداخل عشر اذرع، واظن سمكه بين الثمان والسبع نحو ذلك. ووقفت عند باب عائشة، فإذا هو مستقبل المغرب".
Dawud bin Qais narrated that I saw the (rooms of the wives of the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ); they were made of palm branches. From the outside, they were covered with hair-cloth mats, and I think that the width of the house from the door of the room to the door of the house was six or seven handspans. And I estimated the inner part of the house; its length from inside was ten handspans, and the height was between seven and eight handspans, or close to that. I stood at the door of Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her); this door was towards the west.
