Arabic text

2916 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ أُسَامَةَ، قَالَ: خَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي قُبُلِ الْكَعْبَةِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: «هَذِهِ الْقِبْلَةُ»

Commentary

"This is the Qiblah" means the Ka'bah is the Qiblah, in whatever direction. It is not essential to offer Prayer facing the door. All the dimensions of the Ka'bah are the Qiblah.
