Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 308 — Facing the qiblah and the sutrah

قَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْحِمَّانِيُّ ، ثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ عِلَاقَةَ ، عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ - وَكَانَ قَدْ صَلَّى الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ جَمِيعًا - قَالَ : إِنِّي لَفِي مَنْزِلِي إِذَا مُنَادٍ يُنَادِي عَلَى الْبَابِ : أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ، فَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى إِمَامِنَا وَالرِّجَالِ وَالنِّسَاءِ وَالصِّبْيَانِ ، لَقَدْ صَلَّوْا إِلَى هَا هُنَا - يَعْنِي بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ - وَإِلَى هَا هُنَا - يَعْنِي الْكَعْبَةَ - .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umarah bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) (who was blessed with performing prayers facing both qiblahs) that he said: "I was in my house when suddenly a caller called out at the door, announcing that the direction of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had been changed towards the Ka'bah. I bear witness concerning our imam and all the men, women and children that (as soon as this news reached them) they had faced this direction, meaning Bayt al-Maqdis, and then also turned towards this direction, meaning the Ka'bah."
This report is from the Musnad of Abu Ya'la. In its chain, Qays bin al-Rabi' is saduq (truthful), but he had the problem of a poor memory; however, there are supporting reports in other sahih hadith about the change of the qiblah.
