(67) بَابُ ذِكْرِ الصَّلَاةِ كَانَتْ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قَبْلَ هِجْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ، إِذِ الْقِبْلَةُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ بَيْتُ الْمَقْدِسِ لَا الْكَعْبَةُChapter 67: Prayer was towards Jerusalem before the Prophet’s migration, as the qiblah then was Jerusalem, not the Ka‘bah
Hadith 429
نَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى ، نا سَلَمَةُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْفَضْلِ ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، قَالَ : وَحَدَّثَنِي مَعْبَدُ بْنُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَعْلَمِ الأَنْصَارِ ، حَدَّثَنِي ، أَنَّ أَبَاهُ كَعْبًا ، حَدَّثَهُ ، وَخَبَرُ كَعْبِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ فِي خُرُوجِ الأَنْصَارِ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فِي بَيْعَةِ الْعَقَبَةِ ، وَذَكَرَ فِي الْخَبَرِ أَنَّ الْبَرَاءَ بْنَ مَعْرُورٍ قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنِّي خَرَجْتُ فِي سَفَرِي هَذَا وَقَدْ هَدَانِي اللَّهُ لِلإِسْلامِ ، فَرَأَيْتُ أَلا أَجْعَلَ هَذِهِ الْبِنْيَةَ مِنِّي بِظَهْرٍ ، فَصَلَّيْتُ إِلَيْهَا ، وَقَدْ خَالَفَنِي أَصْحَابِي فِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى وَقَعَ فِي نَفْسِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْءٌ ، فَمَاذَا تَرَى ؟ قَالَ : " قَدْ كُنْتَ عَلَى قِبْلَةٍ لَوْ صَبَرْتَ عَلَيْهَا " ، قَالَ : فَرَجَعَ الْبَرَاءُ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَصَلَّى مَعَنَا إِلَى الشَّامِ
Hazrat Muhammad bin Ishaq, may Allah have mercy on him, says that the greatest scholar among the Ansar, Hazrat Ma’bad bin Ka’b bin Malik, narrated a hadith to me that his respected father, Sayyiduna Ka’b bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated to him that Sayyiduna Ka’b bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, informed about the Ansar’s departure from Madinah Munawwarah to Makkah Mukarramah for the pledge of Aqabah, and in this account, he also mentioned that Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Ma’rur, may Allah be pleased with him, submitted to the Holy Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, that I set out on this journey and Allah Almighty granted me the guidance of Islam, so I thought that I would not turn my back towards this building (the Holy Ka’bah), therefore I prayed facing it, and my companions opposed me in this matter until I felt bad about it, so what do you command, O Messenger of Allah? The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Indeed, I am upon one Qiblah (praying facing it); if you remain patient upon it, it is better.” He says that therefore Sayyiduna Bara’, may Allah be pleased with him, turned towards the Qiblah of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and prayed with us facing towards Shaam (Bayt al-Maqdis).
