4490. Narrated Ibn ‘Umar رضي الله عنهما: While some people were offering morning prayer at Qubā’, a man came to them and said, “Some Qur’ānic verses have been revealed to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ tonight and he has been ordered to face the Ka’bah at Makkah [in Ṣalāt (prayer)], so you, too, should turn your faces towards it.” At that moment their faces were towards Sham (i.e., Jerusalem), so they turned towards the Ka’bah (at Makkah).
4490 - حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، بَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ فِي الصُّبْحِ بِقُبَاءٍ، جَاءَهُمْ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَأُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الكَعْبَةَ، أَلاَ فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا، وَكَانَ وَجْهُ النَّاسِ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا بِوُجُوهِهِمْ إِلَى الكَعْبَةِ»
