1100. Narrated Anas bin Sīrīn: We went to receive Anas bin Mālik رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ when he returned from Shām and met him at a place called 'Ain-at-Tamr. I saw him offering Ṣalāt (prayer) riding a donkey, with his face to this direction, i.e., to the left of the Qiblah. I said to him, "I have seen you offering the Ṣalāt (prayer) in a direction other than that of the Qiblah." He replied, "If I had not seen Allāh's Messenger ﷺ doing it, I would not have done it."
1100 - حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا حَبَّانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: اسْتَقْبَلْنَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ قَدِمَ مِنَ الشَّأْمِ، فَلَقِينَاهُ بِعَيْنِ التَّمْرِ فَرَأَيْتُهُ «يُصَلِّي عَلَى حِمَارٍ، وَوَجْهُهُ مِنْ ذَا الجَانِبِ» - يَعْنِي عَنْ يَسَارِ القِبْلَةِ - فَقُلْتُ: رَأَيْتُكَ تُصَلِّي لِغَيْرِ القِبْلَةِ، فَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَهُ لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ " رَوَاهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، عَنْ حَجَّاجٍ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ
