398. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: When the Prophet ﷺ entered the Ka'bah, he invoked Allāh in each and every side of it and did not offer Ṣalāt (prayer) till he came out of it, and offered a two Rak'ā prayer facing the Ka'bah and said, "This is the Qiblah."(1)

Arabic text

398 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ البَيْتَ، دَعَا فِي نَوَاحِيهِ كُلِّهَا، وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي قُبُلِ الكَعْبَةِ، وَقَالَ: «هَذِهِ القِبْلَةُ»

(1) (H. 398) The direction in which all Muslims turn their faces in Ṣalāt (prayers) and that direction is towards the Ka'bah in Makkah (Saudi Arabia). The narration of Bilāl (Hadīth No.397) is more authentic as Ibn Abbās did not enter the Ka'bah with the Prophet ﷺ but narrates the episode from another Companion.
