[15] الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّضْرِ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ بَشِيرٍ فِي حَدِيثِ سُلَيْمَانَ مَوْلَى طِرْبَالٍ قَالَ: ذَكَرْتُ هَذِهِ الْأَهْوَاءَ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا هُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ مِمَّا جَاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا اسْتِقْبَالَ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَطْ.
(The book) ‘Al Mahaasin’ – from his father, from Al Nazr, from Yahya Al Halby, from Bashir, in a Hadeeth by Suleyman, a slave of Tirbal who said, ‘I mentioned these whims (general Muslims) in the presence of Abu Abdullah -asws . He -asws said: ‘No, by Allah -azwj !
They are not up anything from what Rasool-Allah -saww had come with, except facing the Kabah only!’’ [16] The Change in Qiblah direction: فِي تَفْسِيرِ النُّعْمَانِيِّ، بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمَذْكُورِ فِي كِتَابِ الْقُرْآنِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا بُعِثَ كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ إِلَى قِبْلَةِ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَكَانَ فِي أَوَّلِ بِعْثَتِهِ يُصَلِّي إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ جَمِيعَ أَيَّامِ مُقَامِهِ بِمَكَّةَ وَ بَعْدَ هِجْرَتِهِ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ بِأَشْهُرٍ In Tafseer Al Numani – by the mentioned chain in ‘The book of Quran’ – ‘From Amir Al-Momineen -asws having said: ‘When Rasool-Allah -saww was Send, the Salat was towards the Qiblah of Bayt Al-Maqdis.
In the beginning of his -saww Prophet-hood, he -saww prayed Salat towards Bayt Al-Maqdis, entirety of his -saww days of staying at Makkah, and after his -saww emigrating to Al-Medina for months. فَعَيَّرَتْهُ الْيَهُودُ فَقَالُوا أَنْتَ تَابِعٌ لِقِبْلَتِنَا The Jews faulted him -saww .
They said, ‘You -saww are a follower to our Qiblah!’ فَأَنِفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ يُقَلِّبُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ يَنْتَظِرُ الْأَمْرَ قَدْ نَرى تَقَلُّبَ وَجْهِكَ فِي السَّماءِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ لِئَلَّا يَكُونَ لِلنَّاسِ عَلَيْكُمْ حُجَّةٌ يَعْنِي الْيَهُودَ فِي هَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ It was disrespect to Rasool-Allah -saww from them of that, so Allah -azwj the Exalted Revealed to him -saww while he -saww was turning his -saww face towards the sky awaiting the Command: We have Seen the turning of your face towards the sky, [2:144] – up to His -azwj Word: so that people shall have no accusation against you all, [2:150] – meaning the Jews in this place.
