- ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿUmar رضي الله عنهما narrated:
بينا الناس بقباء فى صلاة الصبح، إذ جاءهم آت، فقال: إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قد أنزل عليه الليلة قرآن، وقد أمر أن يستقبل الكعبة، فاستقبلوها، وكانت وجوههم إلى الشام، فاستداروا إلى الكعبة.
“While the people of Qubāʾ were praying Fajr, a man came and said: ‘Last night Qur’an was revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he has been commanded to face the Kaʿbah, so turn towards it.’ Their faces were towards Shām, so they turned towards the Kaʿbah.”
(Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 403, Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 526) - Ḥāfiẓ Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr رحمه الله (463H) said:
في هذا الحديث بيان النسخ فى أحكام الله عز وجل وهو باب يستغنى عن القول فيه لاتفاق أهل الحق عليه.
“This hadith demonstrates the occurrence of naskh in the rulings of Allah. It is an issue that needs no further elaboration, as the people of truth are unanimously agreed upon it.”
(al-Tamhīd 23/134)
