قَالَ] الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ - هُوَ ابْنُ سَالِمٍ - عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ؓ، قَالَ:

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي مَسِيرٍ - أَوْ سَرِيَّةٍ - فَأَصَابَنَا غَيْمٌ، فَتَحَرَّيْنَا، فَاخْتَلَفْنَا فِي الْقِبْلَةِ، فَصَلَّى كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا يَخُطُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِنَعْلَمَ أَمْكِنَتَنَا، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا نَظَرْنَا فَإِذَا نَحْنُ قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِالْإِعَادَةِ، وَقَالَ: « قَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ صَلَاتُكُمْ

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey – or an expedition – when clouds covered us. We tried to determine the qiblah and differed, so each of us prayed and drew a line in front of him to mark our places. When morning came, we looked and found that we had prayed toward other than the qiblah. We mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and he did not order us to repeat, saying: “Your prayer is sufficient.”
