Turning Away from the Ka'bah After Prayer

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) turning his face away from the Ka'bah after finishing his prayer.

Narrated Yazid ibn al-Aswad: Jabir ibn Yazid ibn al-Aswad reported on the authority of his father: I prayed behind the Messenger of Allah . When he finished the prayer, he would turn (his face from the direction of the Ka'bah).
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، حَدَّثَنِي يَعْلَى بْنُ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ صَلَّيْتُ خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَكَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ انْحَرَفَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks of a practice that was done by Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). After he finished praying, he would turn his face away from the direction of the Ka’bah. This shows us that even though we are to pray towards the direction of the Ka’bah, it is important to remember that our focus should be on Allah and not on any physical object or place. We should also remember to thank Allah for His blessings after we finish our prayers.
