4488. Narrated Ibn 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: While some people were offering prayer in the Qubā' mosque, someone came and said, "Allāh has revealed to the Prophet ﷺ Qur'anic instructions that you should face the Ka'bah [while offering Ṣalāt (prayer)], so you, too, should face it." Those people then turned towards the Ka'bah (in their prayer).

Arabic text

4488 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، بَيْنَا النَّاسُ يُصَلُّونَ الصُّبْحَ فِي مَسْجِدِ قُبَاءٍ، إِذْ جَاءَ جَاءٍ فَقَالَ: " أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قُرْآنًا: أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الكَعْبَةَ فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا ، فَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ "
