"عن الْهَيْثَم بنِ عمرَان العَبْسى قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جَدِّى عَبد اللَّه بن أَبِى عَبد اللَّه يَقُولُ: لَمَّا نَزَلَ عُمَر بنُ الخطَّابِ الجَابِيَة أَرْسَل رَجُلًا مِنْ جَدِيلَةَ إلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقدِسِ فَافْتَتَحَهُ صُلْحًا، ثُمَّ جَاءَ عُمَرُ ومَعَهُ كَعْبٌ فَقالَ: يَا أبَا إسحاقَ أَتَعْرِفُ مَوْضِعَ الصَّخْرَةِ؟ [فقال: اذرع مِنَ الْحَائِطِ الذى يلى وادى جهنم كذا وكذا ذراعًا، ثم احْتَفِرْ فإنَّكَ تَجِدُهَا، وهى يومئذ مَذبَلَةٌ، فحفروا فظهرت لهم. فقال عمرُ لكعبٍ: أين ترى أن تَجْعَلَ المسجدَ؟ أو قال: الْقِبْلَةَ، فقال: اجْعَلهَا خَلفَ الصَّخرَةِ فَتَجْمَعَ قبْلَتَيْنِ: قِبلَةَ مُوسَى، وقبلةَ محمدٍ ﷺ، فقال: ضَاهَيْتَ الْيَهُودِيةَ، 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, and it was then a dunghill. 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 and the qiblah of Muhammad ﷺ. He said: You have resembled the Jews.] "
