7252. Narrated Al-Barā': When Allāh's Messenger ﷺ arrived at Al-Madīna, he offered Ṣalāt (prayer) facing Jerusalem for sixteen or seventeen months but he wished that he would be ordered to face the Ka'bah. So Allāh تعالى revealed: "Verily! We have seen the turning of your (Muhammad's ﷺ) face towards the heaven. Surely, We shall turn you to a Qiblah (prayer direction) that shall please you..." (V.2:144) Thus he was directed towards the Ka'bah. A man offered the Aṣr prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and then went out, and passing by some people from the Anṣār, he said, "I testify that I have offered Ṣalāt (prayer) with the Prophet ﷺ and he (the Prophet ﷺ) has offered prayers facing the Ka'bah." Thereupon, they, who were bowing in the Aṣr prayer, turned towards the Ka'bah.

7252 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ البَرَاءِ، قَالَ: " لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ المَدِينَةَ صَلَّى نَحْوَ بَيْتِ المَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، وَكَانَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُوَجَّهَ إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {قَدْ نَرَى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّكَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا} [البقرة: 144]، فَوُجِّهَ نَحْوَ الكَعْبَةِ، وَصَلَّى مَعَهُ رَجُلٌ العَصْرَ "، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَمَرَّ عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ، فَقَالَ: هُوَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ وُجِّهَ إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ، فَانْحَرَفُوا وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ فِي صَلاَةِ العَصْرِ
