The answer

It is not clear to us what is meant by "distribution of the circles." The well-known pillars in the Prophet's Mosque are: the perfumed pillar (Al-Mukhallaqah), Aisha's pillar, Abi Lubabah's (Repentance) pillar, the Couch (Al-Sarir) pillar, the Guard (Al-Mahras) pillar, the Delegations (Al-Wufud) pillar, and the square of the grave (Murabba'at al-Qabr). Their locations and reasons for naming can be found in books on the history of the Prophet's Mosque. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, did not have a specific place for sitting in the mosque, but he used to sit with delegations of Arabs at the Delegations pillar, and he sought to perform supererogatory prayers at the perfumed pillar. Yazid ibn Abi Ubaid narrated that his father used to seek to pray at the pillar by the Mus'haf because he saw the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, do so, and it is said that this pillar is Aisha's pillar, may Allah be pleased with her.
