(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
إِسْحَاقُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ
عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : بَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءَ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ ، إِذْ أَتَاهُمْ آتٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ قُرْآنٌ اللَّيْلَةَ ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةَ " ، فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا ، وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the people were performing the morning prayer in the mosque of Quba, when a man came and said that last night the Qur'an was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in which he was commanded to face the Ka'bah during prayer. Upon hearing this, those people turned their faces towards the Ka'bah during the prayer itself.
