Sunan an-Nasa'i 491
أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، عَنْ يَحْيَى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُصَلِّي عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ وَهُوَ مُقْبِلٌ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ وَفِيهِ أُنْزِلَتْ { فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ } .
‘Amr ibn ‘Ali and Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna informed us, from Yahya, from ‘Abd al-Malik, who said: Sa‘id ibn Jubayr narrated to us, from Ibn ‘Umar, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ would pray on his mount while coming from Makkah to Madinah. Concerning this, the verse was revealed: “Wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah.”

أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ،
The English witness omits the isnad.
