[1620] 41 - (702) It was narrated from Hammâm: Anas bin Sîrîn, narrated to us, he said: "We met Anas bin Mâlik when he came from Ash-Shâm, and we met him in 'Ayn At-Tamr. I saw him offering prayers atop a donkey which was facing in that direction" - and Hammâm pointed to the left of the Qiblah. "I said to him: 'I saw you praying in a direction other than the Qiblah.' He said: 'Had I not seen the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ doing that, I would not have done it.'"

Arabic text

41 - (702) وَحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: تَلَقَّيْنَا أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ حِينَ قَدِمَ الشَّامَ، فَتَلَقَّيْنَاهُ بِعَيْنِ التَّمْرِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حِمَارٍ وَوَجْهُهُ ذَاكَ الْجَانِبَ، وَأَوْمَأَ هَمَّامٌ عَنْ يَسَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: رَأَيْتُكَ تُصَلِّي لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ، قَالَ: «لَوْلَا أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَفْعَلُهُ لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ»
