(Second chain) Whenever the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come to such-and-such place near the house of Sayyiduna Ya’la (may Allah be pleased with him), he would face the Qiblah and supplicate. ‘Ubaydullah forgot the exact location of that place.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … However, facing the qiblah while supplicating is a recommended (mustahabb) act, as it is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir radi Allahu anhu that the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam (on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage) came to the place of standing (wuquf) at ‘Arafah and, facing the qiblah, continued to supplicate until sunset. (Sahih Muslim: 2137)
