( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو الْحَسَنِ: عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدَانَ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ الصَّفَّارُ، ثَنَا تَمْتَامٌ، ثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، ثَنَا هَمَّامٌ ( ح ) وَأَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيٌّ، ثَنَا أَحْمَدُ، ثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ثَنَا ابْنُ رَجَاءٍ، ثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ:
لَقِينَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ حِينَ قَدِمَ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَلَقِيتُهُ بِعَيْنِ التَّمْرِ، قَالَ: فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَوَجْهُهُ مِنْ هَذَا الْجَانِبِ - يَعْنِي عَنْ يَسَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ -، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: رَأَيْتُكَ تُصَلِّي لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَقَالَ: لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَفْعَلُهُ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ

We met Anas b. Mālik (may God be pleased with him) when he came from Syria. I met him at ʿAyn al-Tamr, and he said: I saw him praying on a donkey, with his face toward this side - meaning to the left of the qiblah. So I said to him: I saw you praying toward other than the qiblah. He said: Had I not seen the Messenger of God ﷺ do it, I would not have done it.
