4493. Narrated Ibn 'Umar: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: While some people were at Qubā' (offering) morning prayer, a man came to them and said, "Last night Qurā'nic Verses have been revealed whereby the Prophet ﷺ has been ordered to face the Ka'bah (at Makkah), so you, too, should face it." So they, keeping their postures, turned towards the Ka'bah. Formerly the people were facing Sham (Jerusalem).
