Hadith 10690

عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ أَوَّلَ مَا قَدِمَ الْمَدِينَةَ نَزَلَ عَلَى أَجْدَادِهِ أَوْ أَخْوَالِهِ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَأَنَّهُ صَلَّى قِبَلَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ قِبْلَتُهُ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ وَأَنَّهُ صَلَّى أَوَّلَ صَلَاةٍ صَلَّاهَا صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ وَصَلَّى مَعَهُ قَوْمٌ فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ صَلَّى مَعَهُ فَمَرَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ مَسْجِدٍ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِبَلَ مَكَّةَ قَالَ فَدَارُوا كَمَا هُمْ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ يُحَوَّلَ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ وَكَانَ الْيَهُودُ قَدْ أَعْجَبَهُمْ إِذْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي قِبَلَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَأَهْلُ الْكِتَابِ فَلَمَّا وَلَّى وَجْهَهُ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ أَنْكَرُوا ذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he initially stayed with his Ansari ancestors or maternal uncles and resided there. Upon arriving there, he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayers facing Bayt al-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months, while his heartfelt desire was that his qiblah be the Ka'bah. (After the change of qiblah) the very first prayer that he (peace and blessings be upon him) performed facing the Ka'bah was the Asr prayer. The people also performed the prayer with him. One of those who had performed the prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left from there, and as he passed by some people who were praying in the mosque and were in the state of ruku', he said: "I bear witness by Allah that I have just performed prayer with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) facing Makkah." Those people turned towards the Ka'bah during their prayer. It was also the heartfelt desire of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that his direction be turned towards the Ka'bah (Baytullah), and the Jews liked that he used to perform prayers facing Bayt al-Maqdis and the qiblah of the People of the Book. When his direction was turned towards Baytullah, this did not please them.
