Hadith 177
أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّافِعِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءٍ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ، إِذْ أَتَاهُمْ آتٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةَ، فَاسْتَقْبَلُوهَا وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُ النَّاسِ إِلَى الشَّامِ فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ.
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The people of Quba were offering the morning prayer when a man came and said that last night the Qur'an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in which he was commanded to pray facing the Ka'bah. So the people turned their faces towards it. Their (the people of Quba's) faces were towards Syria, and they turned towards the Ka'bah (during the prayer)."
Hadith 178
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءٍ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ، فَقَالَ: إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَاسْتَقْبَلُوهَا. وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ.
It is narrated from Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The people were performing the Fajr prayer in Quba when a man came and informed them that during the night, Qur'an had been revealed to the Prophet ﷺ in which he was commanded to face the Ka'bah (in prayer). So those people also turned their faces towards the Ka'bah, while at that time their faces were towards Syria; they all turned towards the Ka'bah."
Hadith 179
أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، ثُمَّ حُوِّلَتِ الْقِبْلَةُ قَبْلَ بَدْرٍ بِشَهْرَيْنِ. أَخْرَجَ الْأَوَّلَ مِنْ كِتَابِ اسْتِقْبَالِ الْقِبْلَةِ وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ حَدِيثٍ فِيهِ، وَالثَّانِيَ وَالثَّالِثَ مِنْ كِتَابِ الرِّسَالَةِ.
Saeed bin Musayyib narrates: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) prayed facing Bayt al-Maqdis for sixteen months, then two months before the Battle of Badr, the Qiblah was changed."
