Sunan Ibn Majah 1020
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَكِيمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ السَّمَّانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فِي سَفَرٍ فَتَغَيَّمَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَأَشْكَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْقِبْلَةُ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَأَعْلَمْنَا فَلَمَّا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِذَا نَحْنُ قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ} .
Yahya ibn Hakim narrated to us: Abu Dawud narrated to us: Ashath ibn Said Abu al-Rabi al-Samman narrated to us, from Asim ibn Ubaydullah, from Abdullah ibn Amir ibn Rabi, from his father, who said: We were with the Messenger of Allah on a journey. The sky became overcast, and the direction of prayer was unclear to us, so we prayed, uncertain of the direction. When the sun rose, we realized that we had prayed facing a direction other than the qibla. We mentioned this to the Prophet, and Allah revealed: “Wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah.”
