Musnad Abi Ya'la 3826 — The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and his Companions
حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ ، وَحُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ، مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلِمَةَ فَنَادَاهُمْ وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ : أَلَا إِنَّ الْقِبْلَةَ قَدْ حُوِّلَتْ ، فَمَالُوا كَمَا هُمْ ، وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to pray facing Bayt al-Maqdis. Then when this blessed verse was revealed: 'So turn your face towards al-Masjid al-Haram', a man from the tribe of Banu Salimah passed by and called out to the people while they were in the state of bowing in the Fajr prayer, facing Bayt al-Maqdis: 'Listen! The qiblah has been changed.' So all of them turned towards the new qiblah just as they were, in the state of bowing."
