English translation

403. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهم: While the people were offering the Fajr prayer at Qubā (near Al-Madīna), someone came to them and said: "It has been revealed to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ tonight, and he has been ordered to offer prayer facing the Ka'bah. So turn your faces to the Ka'bah." Those people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) so they turned their faces towards Ka'bah (at Makkah). [٧٢٥]

Arabic text

403 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءٍ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ، إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الكَعْبَةَ، فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا، وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ»
