أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الأَزْرَقُ، عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا بْنِ أَبِي زَائِدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْمَدِينَةَ فَصَلَّى نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ وُجِّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ فَمَرَّ رَجُلٌ قَدْ كَانَ صَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَلَى قَوْمٍ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَدْ وُجِّهَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ‏.‏ فَانْحَرَفُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ ‏.‏

Muhammad ibn Ismail ibn Ibrahim informed us: Ishaq ibn Yusuf Al-Azraq narrated to us from Zakariyya ibn Abi Za'idah, from Abu Ishaq, from Al-Bara ibn Azib, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to Madinah and prayed toward Bayt Al-Maqdis for sixteen months. Then he was turned toward the Ka‘bah. A man who had prayed with the Prophet ﷺ passed by some of the Ansar and said, 'I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has been turned toward the Ka‘bah.' So they turned toward the Ka‘bah.
