حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَاصِمٍ. عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ:
كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي لَيْلَةٍ سَوْدَاءَ مُظْلِمَةٍ، فَنَزَلْنَا مَنْزِلًا، فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْخُذُ الْحِجَارَةَ، فَيَجْمَعُهَا مَسْجِدًا فَيُصَلِّي إِلَيْهِ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا، إِذَا نَحْنُ عَلَى غَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَقُلْنَا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، صَلَّيْنَا لَيْلَتَنَا هَذِهِ لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: وَلِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللهِ

✧ I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a dark, black night, and we stopped at a place. Each man took stones and arranged them as a mosque and prayed toward them. When morning came, we found we had not faced the qiblah. We said, "O Messenger of Allah, we prayed this night not facing the qiblah." Then Allah revealed: "To Allah belong the east and the west, so wherever you turn, there is the face of Allah."

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- Ibn al-Qaṭṭān
الحديث معلول بأشعث وعاصم فأشعث مضطرب الحديث ينكر عليه أحاديث وأشعث السمان سيئ الحفظ يروي المنكرات عن الثقات
machine translationThe hadith is defective (maʿlūl) because of Ashʿath and ʿĀṣim. Ashʿath is inconsistent in hadith (muḍṭarib al-ḥadīth), and hadiths are criticised as reprehensible (munkar) from him. Ashʿath al-Sammān is poor in memorisation (sayyiʾ al-ḥifẓ) and narrates reprehensible reports (munkarāt) from the trustworthy (thiqāt).
in المعجم الأوسط, p. 462 - Shawkānī
هذا الحديث وإن كان فيه مقال عند المحدثين ولكن له شواهد تقويه
machine translationAlthough this hadith is open to criticism among the hadith scholars, it has corroborating supports (shawāhid) that strengthen it.
in المعجم الأوسط, p. 462 - Ibn Kathīr
هذه الأسانيد فيها ضعف ولعله يشد بعضها بعضا
machine translationThere is weakness in these chains of transmission, but perhaps some of them strengthen others.
