حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ،
Translation
Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Do you see my qiblah here? By Allah, neither your bowing nor your humility is hidden from me. Indeed, I see you from behind my back.”
Translator’s note: Meaning: do you think I see only what is in front of me towards the qiblah?

Abu Huraira berichtete, dass der Gesandte Allahs ﷺ sagte: „Seht ihr meine Gebetsrichtung hier? Bei Allah, weder eure Verbeugung noch eure Demut bleibt mir verborgen. Ich sehe euch wahrlich hinter meinem Rücken.“

Ebû Hüreyre (r.a.), Resûlullah'ın ﷺ şöyle buyurduğunu rivayet etti: “Kıblemi burada mı görüyorsunuz? Allah'a yemin ederim ki ne rükûunuz ne de huşûunuz bana gizli kalır. Ben sizi gerçekten sırtımın arkasından görürüm.”
Translator’s note: Yani: Sadece önümde, kıble yönünde olanı gördüğümü mü sanıyorsunuz?
