Sayyiduna Uthman bin Suhayl bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came from Makkah (to Madinah), he used to call people to believe in Allah and to affirm Him by speech (he used to call to this); there was no condition of action in it. At that time the qiblah was Bayt al-Maqdis. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) emigrated and came to us, and the rulings of the obligations were revealed, Madinah abrogated Makkah (that is, its rulings), and the (sufficiency of mere) speech in this matter (that is, the ruling that verbal affirmation alone suffices for faith, without the condition of action, was abrogated), and (the ruling of) al-Bayt al-Haram (being the qiblah) abrogated Bayt al-Maqdis. So faith became (the name for the combination of) speech and action.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir. Its chain contains a group (of narrators) whom I do not know.
