Musnad Ahmad 5934

✧ While the people were at Quba' in the dawn prayer, a man came to them and said: 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ has had Qur'an revealed to him tonight, and he has been commanded to face the Ka'bah, so face it.' Their faces had been toward Syria, so they turned around toward the Ka'bah.
