Someone came to Ibn 'Umar and said, "Here is Allah's Apostle entering the Ka'ba." Ibn 'Umar said, "I
went there but the Prophet had come out of the Ka'ba and I found Bilal standing between its two
doors. I asked Bilal, 'Did the Prophet pray in the Ka'ba?' Bilal replied, 'Yes, he prayed two Rakat
between the two pillars which are to your left on entering the Ka'ba. Then Allah's Apostle came out
and offered a two-Rak'at prayer facing the Ka'ba.' "

Narrated Bara' bin 'Azib:
Allah's Apostle prayed facing Baitul-Maqdis for sixteen or seventeen months but he loved to face
the Ka'ba (at Mecca) so Allah revealed: "Verily, We have seen the turning of your face to the heaven!"
(2:144) So the Prophet faced the Ka'ba and the fools amongst the people namely "the Jews" said,
"What has turned them from their Qibla (Bait-ul-Maqdis) which they formerly observed"" (Allah re-
vealed): "Say: 'To Allah belongs the East and the West. He guides whom he will to a straight path'."
(2:142) A man prayed with the Prophet (facing the Ka'ba) and went out. He saw some of the Ansar
praying the 'Asr prayer with their faces towards Bait-ul-Maqdis, he said, "I bear witness that I
prayed with Allah's Apostle facing the Ka'ba." So all the people turned their faces towards the Ka'ba.

wherever it turned, and whenever he wanted to pray the compulsory prayer he dismounted and
prayed facing the Qibla.
