344. (Another chain narrating that) Abū Hurairah narrated that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said: "What is between the east and the west is Qiblah." (Sahih)
And they only call him 'Abdullāh bin Ja'far Al-Makhrāmī because he

Abū 'Eisā said: This Ḥadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
"What is between the east and the west is Qiblah" has been reported from more than one of the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ, among them are 'Umar bin Al-Khaṭṭāb, 'Ali bin Abī Ṭālib, and Ibn 'Abbās.
Ibn 'Umar said: "When the west is to your right, and the east is to your left, then what is between them is Qiblah when you are facing the Qiblah."
Ibn Al-Mubārak said: "What is between the east and the west is Qiblah": this is for the people of the east." And 'Abdullāh bin Al-Mubārak preferred that the people of Marw (Merv) face toward the left.

Commentary
In this Ḥadīth, the direction of Qiblah of the people of Al-Madīnah and that of the outskirts of Al-Madīnah is mentioned. Scholars quoted that while offering prayer, if a person stands at forty - five degrees angle to the right side or to the left facing the direction of Qiblah, the prayer is valid; and according to some even up to thirty - two degrees is acceptable.
