حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ، وَأَبُو عَمَّارٍ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ : " لَمَّا وُجِّهَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ بِإِخْوَانِنَا الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ سورة البقرة آية 143 " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ .
´Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:` "When the Prophet (ﷺ) began facing the Ka'bah they said: 'O Messenger of Allah! How about our brothers who died while they were praying toward Bait Al-Maqdis?' So Allah Most High revealed: Allah would not allow your faith to be wasted. (2:143)"

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
Allah, the Exalted, will not let your faith go to waste (: al-Baqarah: 143), meaning:
He will not let the prayers performed facing Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem) go to waste, because at that time this was the divine command.
In this verse, "faith" (iman) refers to "prayer" (salah), not—as some self-styled commentators of the Qur'an, so-called mufassirun, claim—that "faith" itself is meant here.
This is a clear rejection of an authentic hadith.
May Allah pardon him.
Note:
(There is some confusion (idtirab) in the narration of Samak from Ikrimah in the chain of transmission,
but this hadith is authentic due to being strengthened by the hadith of al-Bara’ radi Allahu anhu in Sahih al-Bukhari.)

Benefits and Issues:
In this noble verse, Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has referred to an action—prayer (salah)—as faith (iman). It is thus understood that actions are a part of faith, and through the perfection of actions, faith becomes complete; otherwise, there is deficiency in it.
