حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى ، عَنْ
سُفْيَانَ ، حَدَّثَنِي
أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ
الْبَرَاءَ ، قَالَ :
صَلَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ، أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا شَكَّ سُفْيَانُ ، ثُمَّ صُرِفْنَا قِبَلَ الْكَعْبَةِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, we prayed facing Bayt al-Maqdis with him for sixteen (or seventeen) months. Afterwards, our direction was turned towards the Ka'bah.
