Al-Bara' b. 'Azib reported: I said prayer with the Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) turning towards Bait-ul-Maqdis for sixteen months till this verse of Surah Baqara wis revealed: And wherever you are turn your faces towards it (ii. 144). This verse was revealed when the Apostle ( صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ) had said prayer. A person amongst his people passed by the people of Ansar as they were engaged in prayer. He narrated to them (this command of Allah) and they turned their faces towards the Ka'ba.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ، قَالَ: «صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا» حَتَّى نَزَلَتِ الْآيَةُ الَّتِي فِي الْبَقَرَةِ {وَحَيْثُ مَا كُنْتُمْ فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَكُمْ شَطْرَهُ} [البقرة: 144] فَنَزَلَتْ بَعْدَمَا صَلَّى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَانْطَلَقَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَمَرَّ بِنَاسٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ، فَحَدَّثَهُمْ، فَوَلُّوا وُجُوهَهُمْ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ
  ابو احوص نے ابو اسحاق سے اور انہوں نے حضرت براء بن عازب ‌رضی ‌اللہ ‌عنہ ‌ ‌ سے روایت کی ، کہا : میں نے نبی ﷺ کے ساتھ سولہ ماہ تک بیت المقدس کی طرف ( رخ کر کے ) نماز پڑھی یہاں تک کہ سورہ بقرۃ کی آیت : ’’اور تم جہاں کہیں بھی ہو اپنے رخ کعبہ کی طرف کرو ۔ ‘ ‘ اتری ۔ یہ آیت اس وقت اتری جب نبی ﷺ نماز پڑھ چکے تھے ۔ لوگوں میں سے ایک آدمی ( یہ حکم سن ) چلا تو انصار کے کچھ لوگوں کے پاس سے گزرا ، وہ ( مسجد بنی حارثہ میں ، جس کا نام اس واقعے کے بعد مسجد قبلتین پڑ گیا ) نماز پڑھ رہے تھے ، اس نے انہیں یہ ( حکم ) بتایا تو انہوں نے ( اثنائے نماز ہی میں ) اپنے چہرے بیت اللہ کی طرف کر لیے ۔
