1011 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَزْدِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ح وحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ»

Commentary
Makkah is to the exact south of Al-Madinah. As such there is no difficulty for the inhabitants of Al-Madinah to fix their Qiblah. People living in other cities can pray according to their geographical locations, since the direction of the Sacred Ka'bah differs from place to place.
