Umdat al-Ahkam (al-Maqdisi) 74عمدة الأحكام 74
عن أنس بن سيرين قال: «استقبلنا أنسا حين قدم من الشام، فلقيناه بعين التمر، فرأيته يصلي على حمار، ووجهه من ذا الجانب - يعني عن يسار القبلة - فقلت: رأيتك تصلي لغير القبلة؟ فقال: لولا أني رأيت رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - يفعله ما فعلته».
Anas b. Sirin reported: We met Anas b. Malik as he came to Syria at a place known as 'Ain-al-Tamar and saw him observing prayer on the back of his donkey with his face turned in that direction. (Hammam one of the narrators) pointed towards the left of Qibla, so I said to him: I find you observing prayer towards the side other than that of Qibla. Upon this he said: Had I not seen the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) doing like this, I would not have done so at all.
