Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was turned from the first qiblah towards the Ka'bah, at that time he was in prayer, so all of them turned while in their bowing (ruku‘).

Benefits and Issues:
The meaning of the hadith of Hazrat Buraidah (radi Allahu anhu) is that correct ruqyah (recitation for healing) for the evil eye and the sting of a poisonous creature brings benefit very quickly, just as Hazrat Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (radi Allahu anhu) recited Surah al-Fatihah as ruqyah, and the person immediately became healthy, as if he had not suffered any pain at all.
There is no contradiction between the two hadiths; we have already explained the correct meaning of the second hadith.

1045. Commentary:
➊ Abrogation of rulings is established in Islam, and until knowledge of it is attained, no one is held accountable for it.
➋ The report of a single trustworthy individual is also acceptable, which is technically termed as "khabar wahid" (solitary report).
➌ If, out of ignorance, prayer is performed facing the qiblah, then it is valid.
➍ Out of necessity, a person who is not praying may instruct someone who is praying, even during the prayer.
➎ Such instruction does not invalidate the prayer of the one praying. «والله اعلم»
