حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ السَّمَّانُ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ فَلَمْ نَدْرِ أَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةُ فَصَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا عَلَى حِيَالِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ (أَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ )

from his father who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey on a very dark night and we did not know where the Qiblah was. So each man among us prayed in his own direction. In the morning when we mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then the following was revealed: "So wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah. (2:115)"

What scholars said about it
In their own words, as Hadith Unlocked records them. They are shown, not summarised into a grade.
- al-Tirmidhi
هذا حديث غريب لا نعرفه إلا من حديث أشعث السمان أبي الربيع عن عاصم بن عبيد الله
in جامع الترمذي, p. 3229 - العقيلي
لا يروى من وجه يثبت
machine translationIt is not narrated through any route that is established.
in جامع الترمذي, p. 3229 - al-Tirmidhi
حديث ليس إسناده بذاك ولا نعرفه إلا من حديث أشعث السمان وهو يضعف في الحديث
in جامع الترمذي, p. 3229 - 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).
