Hadith 1060
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو يُوسُفَ الْخَلالُ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ ، بِالْبَصْرَةِ ، نا شُعَيْبُ بْنُ أَيُّوبَ ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُمَرَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “(According to the reckoning of Madinah Munawwarah) the place between the east and the west is the Qiblah.”
Hadith 1061
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُبَشِّرٍ ، ثنا جَابِرُ بْنُ الْكُرْدِيِّ ، نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ الْمُجَبِّرِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “(According to the reckoning of Madinah Munawwarah) the place between the east and the west is the Qiblah.”
Hadith 1062
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَبِيبٍ ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ ، قَالَ : وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي ، ثنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ الْعَرْزَمِيُّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَرِيَّةً كُنْتُ فِيهَا ، فَأَصَابَتْنَا ظُلْمَةٌ فَلَمْ تُعْرَفِ الْقِبْلَةُ ، فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنَّا : قَدْ عَرَفْنَا الْقِبْلَةَ هِيَ هَاهُنَا قِبَلَ الشِّمَالِ فَصَلُّوا وَخَطُّوا خَطًّا ، وَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا : الْقِبْلَةُ هَاهُنَا قِبَلَ الْجَنُوبِ وَخَطُّوا خَطًّا ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحُوا وَطَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَصْبَحَتْ تِلْكَ الْخُطُوطُ لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ ، فَلَمَّا قَفَلْنَا مِنْ سَفَرِنَا سَأَلْنَا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ ، فَسَكَتَ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ : وَلِلَّهِ الْمَشْرِقُ وَالْمَغْرِبُ فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ سورة البقرة آية 115 ، أَيْ حَيْثُ كُنْتُمْ " .
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched an expedition, and I was among them. On one occasion, in extreme darkness, we could not determine the direction of the qiblah. Some of us said: We have estimated the direction of the qiblah, it is this way. They pointed towards the north, faced that direction and performed the prayer, and marked a line as a reminder. Some said: The qiblah is in this direction. They pointed towards the south and marked a line in that direction. When morning came and the sun rose, neither of the two lines was in the direction of the qiblah. When we returned from the journey and asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this, he remained silent. Then Allah revealed this verse: "To Allah belong the East and the West; so wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah."
Hadith 1063
قَالَ : وَنا قَالَ : وَنا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ الْعَرْزَمِيُّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّهَا نزلت فِي التَّطَوُّعِ خَاصَّةً حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَ بِكَ بَعِيرُكَ " .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "This verse was revealed specifically regarding voluntary prayers, meaning that whichever direction your mount faces, you may perform prayer facing that way."
Hadith 1064
قُرِئَ عَلَى أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، وَأَنَا أَسْمَعُ ، حَدَّثَكُمْ دَاوُدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَسِيرٍ أَوْ سَفَرٍ فَأَصَابَنَا غَيْمٌ فَتَحَيَّرْنَا فَاخْتَلَفْنَا فِي الْقِبْلَةِ فَصَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا عَلَى حِدَةٍ وَجَعَلَ أَحَدُنَا يَخُطُّ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ لِنَعْلَمَ أَمْكِنَتَنَا ، فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَلَمْ يَأْمُرْنَا بِالإِعَادَةِ ، وَقَالَ : " قَدْ أَجْزَأَتْ صَلاتُكُمْ " . كَذَا قَالَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ ، وَقَالَ غَيْرُهُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْعَرْزَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ وَهُمَا ضَعِيفَانِ.
Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey and during that time darkness fell. We became very worried and there was a difference among us regarding the direction of the Qiblah. Each of us prayed facing the direction he preferred, and some people even marked a sign in front of them so that we would remember our place. Later, we mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he did not order us to repeat the prayer. He said: "Your prayer is valid." This is narrated similarly from the narrator named Muhammad bin Salim, while some other narrators have transmitted it through another chain, and both these narrators are weak.
Hadith 1065
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ صَاعِدٍ ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الأَحْمَسِيُّ ، ثنا وَكِيعٌ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الْحَسَّانِيُّ ، ثنا وَكِيعٌ ، ثنا أَشْعَثُ السَّمَّانُ ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : " كُنَّا نُصَلِّي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي السَّفَرِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ فَلَمْ نَدْرِ كَيْفَ الْقِبْلَةُ ، فَصَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا عَلَى حِيَالِهِ ، قَالَ : فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فنزلت : فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ سورة البقرة آية 115 " .
Abdullah bin Aamir (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father: Once, during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), we performed prayer during a journey on an extremely dark night. We could not determine the direction of the Qiblah. Each of us prayed facing the direction he was turned towards. The next day, we mentioned this to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and regarding this, the following verse was revealed: "Wherever you may be, Allah's presence will be with you."
Hadith 1066
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ صَاعِدٍ ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، وَعَلِيُّ بْنُ أَشْكَابَ . ح وَحَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، ثنا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، قَالا : نا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أنا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ بِهَذَا ، وَقَالَ : " فَجَعَلَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ أَحْجَارًا يُصَلِّي إِلَيْهَا ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا إِذَا نَحْنُ إِلَى غَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ " فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، مِثْلَهُ .
The same narration is transmitted with another chain, however, in it are these words: Each one of us performed the prayer facing the stones that were in front of him, and when morning came, our faces were not towards the qiblah. We mentioned this to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). (After this, the hadith continues as previously mentioned.)
Hadith 1067
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَامِدٍ ، ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ ، ثنا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، بِهَذَا مثل قَوْلِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ هَارُونَ.
This narration is also transmitted with another chain of transmission.
