English translation
743. Al-Barâ' bin 'Âzib said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ came to Al-Madînah and prayed toward Bait Al-Maqdis for sixteen months, then he was commanded to face toward the Ka'bah. A man who had prayed with the Prophet ﷺ passed by some of the Anshâr and said: 'I bear witness that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ has been commanded to face toward the Ka'bah.' So they turned to face the Ka'bah." (Sahîh)
