Prayer
Narrated Anas ibn Malik:
The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) used to pray towards Bayt al-Maqdis, that it was
revealed (to him): "Indeed We see the turning of the face to heaven, wherefore We shall assuredly
cause thee to turn towards Qiblah which shall please thee. So turn thy face towards the sacred
Mosque (Ka'bah)" (ii.144). A person from Banu Salamah was going; (he found the people) in ruku
(while) praying the dawn prayer and they had said one rak'ah. He said in a loud voice: Listen! the
Qiblah has been changed and they turned towards (the new) Qiblah (Ka'bah) in that very state. (Muslim No. 1075)
