"عن الهيثم بن عمران العبسى قال: سمعتُ جَدِّى عبد اللَّه بن أَبى عبد اللَّه يقول: لما نزل عمر بن الخطاب الجابيةَ أرسل رجلا (من) () جديلةَ إلى بيتِ المقدسِ فَافْتَتَحَهُ صُلْحًا، ثم جاء عمر ومعه كعبٌ فقال: يا أبا إسحاقَ أَتَعْرِفُ موضِعَ الصَّخْرَةِ؟ فقال: اذْرَعْ مِنَ الْحَائِط الذى يلى وادى جهنم كذا وكذا ذراعًا، ثم احْتَفِرْ فإنكَ تَجِدُهَا (قال: ) وهى يومئذ مَذبَلَةٌ، (قال) فحفروا فظهرت لهم. فقال عمرُ لكعبٍ: أين ترى أن تَجْعَلَ المسجدَ -أو قال: الْقِبْلَةَ- قال: اجْعَلْهَا خَلْفَ الصَّخْرَة فَتَجْمَعَ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ: قِبْلَةَ مُوسَى (عَليه السلام) وقبلةَ محمدٍ ﷺ، فقال: ضَاهَيْتَ الْيَهُودِيَّةَ يا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ؛ خَيْرُ الْمَسَاجِدِ مُقَدَّمُهَا (قال) فَبَنَاهَا فِى مُقَدَّمِ الْمَسجِدِ".

"Al-Haytham ibn 'Imran al-'Absi said: I heard my grandfather 'Abd Allah ibn Abi 'Abd Allah say: When 'Umar ibn al-Khattab camped at al-Jabiyah, he sent a man (from) Judhaylah to Bayt al-Maqdis, and he conquered it by treaty. Then 'Umar came, and with him was Ka'b. He said: O Abu Ishaq, do you know the location of the rock? He said: Measure from the wall that faces the Valley of Hell so many cubits, then dig, for you will find it. (He said:) It was then a dunghill. (He said:) They dug and it appeared to them. 'Umar said to Ka'b: Where do you think the mosque should be, or he said: the qiblah? He said: Place it behind the rock, so that you combine the two qiblahs: the qiblah of Musa (peace be upon him) and the qiblah of Muhammad ﷺ. He said: You have resembled the Jews, O Abu Ishaq; the best of mosques is its front. (He said:) So he built it at the front of the mosque."
