Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 304
حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: بَيْنَا النَّاسُ بِقبَاءٍ فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ؛ فَقَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَد أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةَ، فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ.
`Abdullah bin `Umar Narrated from:
While the people were offering the Fajr prayer at Qubâ (near Al-Madîna), someone came to them and said: "It has been revealed to Allâh's Messenger ﷺ tonight, and he has been ordered to offer Salât facing the Ka'ba. So turn your faces to the Ka'ba. Those people were facing Shâm (Jerusalem) so they turned their faces towards Ka'ba (at Makka). ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 397, Vol. 1)
