Hadith 408

408 صحيح حديث أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: اسْتَقْبَلْنَا أَنَسًا حِينَ قَدِمَ مِنَ الشَّأمِ فَلَقِينَاهُ بِعَيْنِ التَّمْرِ، فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي عَلَى حِمَارٍ، وَوَجْهُهُ مِنْ ذَا الْجَانِبِ، يَعْنِي عَنْ يَسَارِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَقُلْتُ: رَأَيْتُكَ تُصَلِّي لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَقَالَ: لَوْلاَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَعَلَهُ لَمْ أَفْعَلْهُ
Anas bin Sirin says that when Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) returned from Syria (after complaining about Hajjaj to the caliph), we met him at Ayn al-Tamr. We saw that he was performing prayer while riding a donkey, and his face was turned to the left of the Qiblah. Upon this, I said, "I have seen you praying with your face turned in a direction other than the Qiblah." He replied, "If I had not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) doing so, I would not have done it myself."
