حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ عَنْ الْبَرَائِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ قَالَ لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ صَلَّی نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا وَکَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يُوَجِّهَ إِلَی الْکَعْبَةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَی قَدْ نَرَی تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِکَ فِي السَّمَائِ فَلَنُوَلِّيَنَّکَ قِبْلَةً تَرْضَاهَا فَوَلِّ وَجْهَکَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ فَوَجَّهَ نَحْوَ الْکَعْبَةِ وَکَانَ يُحِبُّ ذَلِکَ فَصَلَّی رَجُلٌ مَعَهُ الْعَصْرَ ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَی قَوْمٍ مِنْ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهُمْ رُکُوعٌ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ هُوَ يَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ صَلَّی مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَنَّهُ قَدْ وَجَّهَ إِلَی الْکَعْبَةِ قَالَ فَانْحَرَفُوا وَهُمْ رُکُوعٌ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَعُمَارَةَ بْنِ أَوْسٍ وَعَمْرِو بْنِ عَوْفٍ الْمُزَنِيِّ وَأَنَسٍ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی وَحَدِيثُ الْبَرَائِ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ وَقَدْ رَوَاهُ سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَقَ حَدَّثَنَا هَنَّادٌ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ کَانُوا رُکُوعًا فِي صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی وَحَدِيثُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

جامع ترمذی · Hadith 340

Al-Bara bin Azib narrated: When Allah's Messener arrived in Al-Madinah, he faced Bait Al-Maqdis in Salat for sixteen or seventeen months. Allah's Messenger longed to face the direction of the Ka'bah, so Allah Most High revealed: Verily! We have seen the turning of your face towards the heaven. Surely We shall turn you o a Qiblah that shall please you. So turn your face in the direction of Al-Masjid Al-Haram.So he faced the Ka'bah, and he liked that. A man performed the Asr prayer with him, then passed by some of the Ansar who were bowing in Salat for Asr while facing Bait Al-Maqdis. He told them that he had faced the direction of the Ka'bah, so they changed (their direction) while they were bowing. [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Ibn Umar, Ibn Abbas, Umarah bin Aws, Amr bin Awf Al-Muzani and Anas.
