Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, once said to Abd ar-Rahman ibn Awf, "What do you do, Abu
Muhammad, when saluting the corner?" and Abd ar-Rahman said,
"Sometimes I salute it, and sometimes I don't." The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "You are right."
Muwatta Malik Book 20, Hadith 117
