Sayyiduna Uthman bin Hunayf (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came (to Madinah) from Makkah, he used to call people to believe in Allah Almighty and to affirm it by word, without action being part of it, and at that time the qiblah was towards Bayt al-Maqdis. When he migrated to us, the obligations were revealed, the rulings of Madinah abrogated the rulings of Makkah, and the ruling concerning the Sacred House abrogated the ruling concerning Bayt al-Maqdis. So faith then became a combination of word and deed.
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir; its chain contains Sa'd bin Imran. Abu Hatim said: "He is like al-Waqidi," and al-Waqidi is matruk (abandoned).
