In the narration reported by Hazrat Thabit (may Allah have mercy on him) from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), it is stated: Beware, the Qiblah has been changed towards the noble Ka'bah. Uthman bin Sa'd al-Katib also narrated similarly from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was turned towards the noble Ka'bah. Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayers facing Bayt al-Maqdis for a few months, then during this period, one day while he (peace and blessings be upon him) was offering the Zuhr prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) had completed two rak'ahs when he (peace and blessings be upon him) was turned towards the noble Ka'bah. Then the foolish people said: «‏‏‏‏مَا وَلَّاهُمْ عَن قِبْلَتِهِمُ الَّتِي كَانُوا عَلَيْهَا» ‏‏‏‏ "What has turned them away from the Qiblah to which they were accustomed?"
