(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ آدَمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْرَائِيلُ ، عَنْ
سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ
عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قِيلَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ حُوِّلَتْ الْقِبْلَةُ : " فأَما لِلَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ سورة البقرة آية 143 " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the command for changing the Qiblah was revealed, the people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What will happen to our companions who used to pray facing Bayt al-Maqdis and passed away in that state? Upon this, the following verse was revealed: «﴿وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ﴾ [البقرة : 143]» "Allah is not one to waste your prayers."
