Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 13:
Narrated Al-Bara:
The Prophet prayed facing Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e.
Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen
months but he wished that his Qibla would
be the Ka'ba (at Mecca). (So Allah
Revealed (2.144) and he offered 'Asr prayers(in
his Mosque facing Ka'ba at Mecca)
and some people prayed with him. A man from
among those who had prayed with him,
went out and passed by some people offering
prayer in another mosque, and they were
in the state of bowing. He said, "I, (swearing
by Allah,) testify that I have prayed with
the Prophet facing Mecca." Hearing that, they
turned their faces to the Ka'ba while they
were still bowing. Some men had died before
the Qibla was changed towards the
Ka'ba. They had been killed and we did not
know what to say about them (i.e. whether
their prayers towards Jerusalem were accepted
or not). So Allah revealed:-- "And
Allah would never make your faith (i.e. prayer)
to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered
(towards Jerusalem). Truly Allah is Full of
Pity, Most Merciful towards mankind."
(2.143)
Bukhari,Volume 6, Book 60, Number 15:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
While some people were offering Fajr prayer
in the Quba' mosque, some-one came
and said, "Allah has revealed to the Prophet
Qur'anic instructions that you should face
the Ka'ba (while praying) so you too, should
face it." Those people then turned towards
the Ka'ba.
Bukhari,Volume 6, Book 60, Number 16:
Narrated Anas:
None remains of those who prayed facing both
Qiblas (that is, Jerusalem and Mecca)
except myself.
Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 17:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
While some people were offering morning prayer
at Quba' a man came to them and
said, "A Quranic Order has been revealed to
Allah's Apostle tonight that he should face
the Ka'ba at Mecca (in prayer), so you too
should turn your faces towards it." At that
moment their faces were towards Sham (i.e.
Jerusalem) (and on hearing that) they
turned towards the Ka'ba (at Mecca).
Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 18:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
While some people were offering Fajr prayer
at Quba' (mosque), some-one came to
them and said, "Tonight some Qur'anic Verses
have been revealed to the Prophet and
he has been ordered to face the Ka'ba (at
Mecca) (during prayers), so you too should
turn your faces towards it." At that time
their faces were towards Sham (Jerusalem) so
they turned towards the Ka'ba (at Mecca).
Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 19:
Narrated Al-Bara:
We prayed along with the Prophet facing Jerusalem
for sixteen or seventeen months.
Then Allah ordered him to turn his face towards
the Qibla (in Mecca):--
"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.." (2.149)
Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 20:
Narrated Ibn Umar:
While some people were at Quba (offering) morning
prayer, a man came to them and
said, "Last night Quranic Verses have been
revealed whereby the Prophet 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)"
(2.150)
Bukhari, Volume 6, Book 60, Number 21:
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
While some people were offering Fajr prayer
at Quba mosque, someone came to them
and said, "Quranic literature" has been revealed
to Allah's Apostle tonight, and he has
been ordered to face the Ka'ba (of Mecca)
so you too, should turn your faces towards
it. Their faces were then towards Sham (Jerusalem),
so they turned towards the Qibla
(i.e. Ka'ba of Mecca)."
Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 91, Number 357:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
While the people were at Quba offering the
morning prayer, suddenly a person came to
them saying, "Tonight Divine Inspiration has
been revealed to Allah's Apostle and he
has been ordered to face the Ka'ba (in prayers):
therefore you people should face it."
There faces were towards Sham, so they turned
their faces towards the Ka'ba (at
Mecca).
Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 91, Number 358:
Narrated Al-Bara':
When Allah's Apostle arrived at Medina, he
prayed facing Jerusalem for sixteen or
seventeen months but he wished that he would
be ordered to face the Ka'ba. So Allah
revealed: --
'Verily! We have seen the turning of your face
towards the heaven; surely we shall turn
you to a prayer direction (Qibla) that shall
please you.' (2.144) Thus he was directed
towards the Ka'ba. A man prayed the 'Asr prayer
with the Prophet and then went out,
and passing by some people from the Ansar,
he said, "I testify. that I have prayed with
the Prophet and he (the Prophet) has prayed
facing the Ka'ba." Thereupon they, who
were bowing in the 'Asr prayer, turned towards
the Ka'ba. |
