7251. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهم: While the people were at Qubā' offering the morning Ṣalāt (prayer), suddenly a person came to them saying, "Tonight, Divine Revelation has been revealed to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and he has been ordered to face the Ka'bah (in Ṣalāt); therefore you people should face it." (At that time) there faces were towards Shām, so they turned their faces towards the Ka'bah (at Makkah).
