Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 11189 — Reports on the direction the deceased

Zur'ah bin Abd al-Rahman said: I attended Sa'id bin al-Musayyib in his illness, and Abu Salamah bin Abd al-Rahman was sitting with him. Sa'id bin al-Musayyib fainted, and Abu Salamah ordered that Sa'id's bed be turned towards the qiblah. Then he came round. Sa'id asked: "Have you turned my bed?" The people said: "Yes." Sa'id looked at Abu Salamah and said: "I think this is your doing?" He said: "Yes, I am the one who told them." So Sa'id ordered that his bed be turned back again to the way it was.
