English translation

708. 'Amr bin Shu'āib narrated from his father, from his grandfather, that he said: "We camped once with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ at Thaniyah Adhākhir, and the time for prayer came. So he prayed towards a wall and took it as his Qiblah,[1] while we were behind him. Then a goat tried to pass in front of him, but he continued to divert it, until (when it did not desist) he pressed his stomach to the wall, and it passed behind him." (Hasan)

Arabic text

708 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ الْغَازِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَدِّهِ، قَالَ: هَبَطْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ ثَنِيَّةِ أَذَاخِرَ «فَحَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ - يَعْنِي فَصَلَّى إِلَى جِدَارٍ - فَاتَّخَذَهُ قِبْلَةً وَنَحْنُ خَلْفَهُ، فَجَاءَتْ بَهْمَةٌ تَمُرُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ فَمَا زَالَ يُدَارِئُهَا حَتَّى لَصَقَ بَطْنَهُ بِالْجِدَارِ، وَمَرَّتْ مِنْ وَرَائِهِ»، أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ
