Bayhaqi 2240 — A mistake becomes clear after one's own judgement

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، وَحُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، " أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَصْحَابَهُ كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ {فَوَلِّ وَجْهَكَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ وَحَيْثُمَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ} مَرَّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي سَلَمَةَ، فَنَادَاهُمْ وَهُمْ رُكُوعٌ فِي صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ ⦗١٨⦘ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ أَلَا إِنَّ الْقِبْلَةَ قَدْ حُوِّلَتْ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ مَرَّتَيْنِ قَالَ: فَمَالُوا كَمَا هُمْ رُكُوعٌ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ " أَخْرَجَهُ مُسْلِمٌ فِي الصَّحِيحِ مِنْ حَدِيثِ حَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his Companions used to pray facing Bayt al-Maqdis. When this verse was revealed: "So turn your face toward al-Masjid al-Haram, and wherever you are, turn your faces toward it" [Surah al-Baqarah: 144],
a man from Banu Salimah passed by some people and called out to them. They were in the state of bowing in the Fajr prayer, praying toward Bayt al-Maqdis. He said: Listen! Take heed! The qiblah has been turned toward the Ka'bah. He said this twice, so they turned toward the Ka'bah while still in the state of bowing.
