بَابُ جَوَازِ تَطَوُّعِ الْمُسَافِرِ عَلَى رَاحِلَةٍ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِChapter on the Permissibility of Voluntary Prayer for the Traveler on His Mount Wherever It Faces
Hadith 1464
اُردوEn
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ تَطَوُّعًا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَكَبَّرَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ خَلَّى عَنْ رَاحِلَتِهِ فَصَلَّى حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to offer a voluntary prayer on his mount, he would first face the Qiblah and say Allahu Akbar for the prayer, then he would let his mount go wherever it wished, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would continue his prayer, regardless of which direction the mount turned.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … From this hadith it is understood that the person performing prayer should, at the time of saying the opening takbir (takbir tahrimah), face the qiblah once; after that, depending on the nature of the journey, there is no harm in turning away from the qiblah.
