\nNarrated Ibn `Umar:\n\n

While some people were at Quba (offering) morning prayer, a man came to them and said, \"Last night \nQur'anic Verses have been revealed whereby the Prophet has been ordered to face the Ka`ba (at \nMecca), so you too should face it.\" So they, keeping their postures, turned towards the Ka`ba. \nFormerly the people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) (Allah said):-- \n\"And from whence-so-ever you start forth (for prayers), turn your face in the direction of the Sacred \nMosque of Mecca (Al-Masjid-ul-Haram), and whence-so-ever you are, turn your face towards it \n(when you pray)\" (2.150)","english_grade":"Sahih","last_updated":null,"xrefs":""}
