Umdat al-Ahkam (al-Maqdisi) 73عمدة الأحكام 73
عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: «بينما الناس بقباء في صلاة الصبح إذ جاءهم آت، فقال: إن النبي - صلى الله عليه وسلم - قد أنزل عليه الليلة قرآن، وقد أمر أن يستقبل القبلة، فاستقبلوها. وكانت وجوههم إلى الشام، فاستداروا إلى الكعبة».
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: While the people were offering the Fajr prayer at Quba' (near Medina), someone came to them and said: "It has been revealed to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) tonight, and he has been ordered to pray facing the Ka`ba." So turn your faces to the Ka`ba. Those people were facing Sham (Jerusalem) so they turned their faces towards Ka`ba (at Mecca).
