Sahih

مَا جَاءَ فِي الْقِبْلَةِ، وَمَنْ لاَ يَرَى الإِعَادَةَ عَلَى مَنْ سَهَا فَصَلَّى إِلَى غَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ

What has been reported about the qiblah, and those who do not consider it necessary for one who forgetfully prayed towards other than the qiblah to repeat (the prayer)

بَيْنَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءٍ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةَ فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا، وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ، فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ.

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ

Translation

Ibn Umar reported: While the people were at Quba in the dawn prayer, someone came to them and said, “Qur'an has been revealed to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ last night, and he has been commanded to face the Kaaba, so face it!” Their faces were towards Syria, and they turned around towards the Kaaba.

Translator’s note: Quba: a place on the outskirts of Madinah. Towards Syria, i.e. towards Bayt al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).

Ibn Umar berichtete: Während die Leute in Quba beim Morgengebet waren, kam jemand zu ihnen und sagte: „Dem Gesandten Allahs ﷺ ist in dieser Nacht Koran herabgesandt worden, und ihm wurde befohlen, sich der Kaaba zuzuwenden; so wendet euch ihr zu!“ Ihre Gesichter waren nach Syrien gerichtet, und sie drehten sich zur Kaaba.

Translator’s note: Quba: Ort am Rand von Medina. Nach Syrien, d. h. in Richtung Bait al-Maqdis (Jerusalem).

Türkçe

İbn Ömer (r.a.) şöyle rivayet etti: İnsanlar Kubâ'da sabah namazında iken birisi gelip: “Bu gece Resûlullah'a ﷺ Kur'ân indirildi ve Kâbe'ye yönelmesi emredildi. Siz de ona yönelin!” dedi. Yüzleri Şam tarafına dönüktü; bunun üzerine Kâbe'ye doğru döndüler.

Translator’s note: Kubâ: Medine'nin kenarında bir yer. Şam tarafı, yani Beytülmakdis yönü.
