English translation

[1612] 33 - (...) It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to pray when he was coming from Makkah to Al-Madinah, atop his mount no matter what direction it was facing. Concerning this, the verse: "so wherever you turn (yourselves or your faces) there is the Face of Allāh (and He is High above, over His Throne)"[1] was revealed."

Arabic text

33 - (700) وَحَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ حَيْثُ كَانَ وَجْهُهُ، قَالَ: وَفِيهِ نَزَلَتْ {فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللهِ} [البقرة: 115] "
