[1176] 11 - (525) It was narrated that Al-Barâ' bin 'Âzib said: “I prayed with the Prophet ﷺ facing towards Bait Al-Maqdis for sixteen months, until the verse in Al-Baqarah was revealed: “...And wheresoever ye & people are, turn your faces (in prayer) in that direction...”[1] It was revealed after the Prophet ﷺ had completed his prayers. A man went out and passed by some people from among the Ansâr who were praying, and told them, so they turned to face towards the Ka'bah."
