English translation
narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "While the people were praying ubtz (Fajr prayer) in Qubâ', someone came to them and said: 'Revelation came to the Messenger of Allah last night and he was commanded to face towards the Ka'bah, so face towards it.' They were facing towards Ash-Sham, so they turned to face the Kfbah."
