Syedna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray facing towards Bayt al-Maqdis, then when this verse was revealed: {قَدْ نَرٰی تَقَلُّبَ وَجْہِکَ فِی السَّمَائِ فَلَنُوَلِّیَنَّکَ قِبْلَۃً تَرْضَاہَا فَوَلِّ وَجْہَکَ شَطْرَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ} … "Indeed, We see the turning of your face towards the heaven; surely We shall turn you to a Qiblah which you shall like. So turn your face towards al-Masjid al-Haram." Then a man passed by the people of Banu Salamah while they were in the state of bowing in the Fajr prayer and had completed one rak'ah, the passerby called out: "Beware! The Qiblah has been changed, beware! The Qiblah has been changed and now the Ka'bah is the Qiblah." So they turned towards the Qiblah in that very state.
