Arabic text

١١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَبْدَةُ ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ ‌مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ ‌وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ: «رَقِيتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى بَيْتِ حَفْصَةَ،» فَرَأَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى حَاجَتِهِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الشَّامِ مُسْتَدْبِرَ الْكَعْبَةِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

The House of Allāh (Ka'bah) is situated to in the south of Al-Madinah and Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) in the north. So if the face is towards Baitul-Maqdis, the back will be towards the House of Allāh. This is also the action of the Prophet ﷺ which cannot be contrary to his saying.
