1334 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّهُ «صَلَّى مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ، فَلَمَّا صَلَّى انْحَرَفَ»

Commentary
Turning the face from the Qiblah is probably so that even if someone looks from a distance, he can realize that the prayer is completed. Otherwise, the prayer-leader's sitting with his back toward the worshippers was necessitated by the requisites of the prayer. At the end of the prayer, it is appropriate that he sit facing the worshippers, like the leader sitting among his folk.
