Sahih BukhariHadith Number 398
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْبَيْتَ دَعَا فِي نَوَاحِيهِ كُلِّهَا، وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ حَتَّى خَرَجَ مِنْهُ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ رَكَعَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي قُبُلِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَقَالَ " هَذِهِ الْقِبْلَةُ ".
Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:
When the Prophet (ﷺ) entered the Ka`ba, he invoked Allah in each and every side of it and did not pray till he came out of it, and offered a two-rak`at prayer facing the Ka`ba and said, "This is the Qibla."
[1] The direction in which all Muslims turn their faces in Ṣalāt (prayers) and that direction is towards the Ka'bah in Makkah (Saudi Arabia). The narration of Bilāl ( Hadith No.397) is more authentic as Ibn Abbās did not enter the Ka'bah with the Prophet ﷺ but narrates the episode from another Companion.Reference : Sahih al-Bukhari 398In-book reference : Book 8, Hadith 49USC-MSA web (English) reference : Vol. 1, Book 8, Hadith 391
