Hadith 2521
أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ سَلْمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ ، فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي تَطَوُّعًا عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْمَشْرِقِ ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ نَزَلَ وَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ " .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: We participated in a battle along with the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and the Prophet (peace be upon him) would perform voluntary prayers on his mount, which would be facing towards the east. But when he had to perform an obligatory prayer, he would dismount and perform it facing the Qiblah.
