( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَاضِي، قَالَا: ثَنَا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَفَّانَ، ثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ يَعْنِي: ابْنَ عَرَبِيٍّ، عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى: فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللهِ قَالَ: قِبْلَةُ اللهِ، فَأَيْنَمَا كُنْتَ فِي مَشْرِقٍ أَوْ مَغْرِبٍ فَلَا تَوَجَّهَنَّ إِلَّا إِلَيْهَا
