Narrator: Ibn `Umar
Narrated Ibn `Umar: While some people were at Quba (offering) morning prayer, a man came to them and said, "Last night Qur'anic Verses have been revealed whereby the Prophet (ﷺ) has been ordered to face the Ka`ba (at Mecca), so you too should face it." So they, keeping their postures, turned towards the Ka`ba. Formerly the people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) (Allah said): -- "And from whence-so-ever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of the Sacred Mosque of Mecca (Al-Masjid-ul-Haram), and whence-so-ever you are, turn your face towards it (when you pray)বারাআ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু ‘আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম-এর সঙ্গে পনেরটি যুদ্ধে অংশ নিয়েছি। (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৪১১৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
