Hadith 4493
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ دِينَارٍ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، يَقُولُ : " بَيْنَا النَّاسُ فِي الصُّبْحِ بِقُبَاءٍ إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : " أُنْزِلَ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ ، فَأُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةَ فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا وَاسْتَدَارُوا كَهَيْئَتِهِمْ فَتَوَجَّهُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ، وَكَانَ وَجْهُ النَّاس إِلَى الشَّأْمِ " .
Narrated Ibn `Umar: While some people were at Quba (offering) morning prayer, a man came to them and said, "Last night Qur'anic Verses have been revealed whereby the Prophet has been ordered to face the Ka`ba (at Mecca), so you too should face it." So they, keeping their postures, turned towards the Ka`ba. Formerly the people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) (Allah said):-- "And from whence-so-ever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque of Mecca (Al-Masjid-ul-Haram), and whence-so-ever you are, turn your face towards it (when you pray)" (2.150)
