4491. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: While some people were offering morning prayer at Qubā’ (mosque), someone came to them and said, “Tonight some Qur’ānic Verses have been revealed to the Prophet ﷺ, and he has been ordered to face the Ka’bah (at Makkah) [during Ṣalāt (prayers)], so you, too, should turn your faces towards it.” At that time their faces were towards Sham (Jerusalem), so they turned towards the Ka’bah (at Makkah).

Arabic text

4491 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءٍ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ، إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الكَعْبَةَ فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا، وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ»
