حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ

صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ وُجِّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ الْآيَةَ، قَالَ: فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ الْعَصْرَ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ: هُوَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ [قَدْ] صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُجِّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ. قَالَ: فَانْحَرَفُوا وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed facing Jerusalem for sixteen or seventeen months, then he was directed to face the Ka'bah, and he loved that. Then Allah, Mighty and Exalted, revealed: 'We have certainly seen the turning of your face toward the heaven, so We will surely turn you to a qiblah with which you will be pleased. So turn your face toward the Sacred Mosque' [Quran 2:144]. He said: A man who had prayed 'Asr with the Prophet ﷺ passed by some Ansar while they were bowing in the 'Asr prayer facing Jerusalem. He said: 'He bears witness that he has prayed with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and that he has been directed to face the Ka'bah.' So they turned while still bowing in the 'Asr prayer.
