Sunan Abi Dawud 1241 (Book 4, Hadith 44) #21533
Praying with Non-Muslims

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) went to Najd and met a group of the tribe of Ghatafan. He bowed and prostrated with them, but their backs were not towards the qiblah.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: We went out with the Messenger of Allah to Najd. When we reached Dhat ar-Riqa at Nakhl (or in a valley with palm trees) he met a group of the tribe of Ghatafan. The narrator then reported the tradition to the same effect, but his version is other than that of Haywah. He added to the words "when he bowed along with those who were with him and prostrated" the words "when they stood up, they retraced their footsteps to the rows of their companions". He did not mention the words "their back was towards the qiblah".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الرَّازِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلَمَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ إِلَى نَجْدٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِذَاتِ الرِّقَاعِ مِنْ نَخْلٍ لَقِيَ جَمْعًا مِنْ غَطَفَانَ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ وَلَفْظُهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ لَفْظِ حَيْوَةَ وَقَالَ فِيهِ حِينَ رَكَعَ بِمَنْ مَعَهُ وَسَجَدَ قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَامُوا مَشَوُا الْقَهْقَرَى إِلَى مَصَافِّ أَصْحَابِهِمْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ اسْتِدْبَارَ الْقِبْلَةِ

This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's journey to Najd, where he encountered a group of people from the tribe of Ghatafan. He bowed and prostrated along with them, but their backs were not facing the qiblah. This hadith teaches us that we should be respectful when we are in a place where people are worshipping differently than us, even if they do not share our beliefs or practices. We should also remember that our prayers must always be directed towards the qiblah in order for them to be accepted by Allah SWT. Furthermore, this hadith reminds us that we should never judge others based on their beliefs or practices; rather, we should strive to show respect for all people regardless of their faith or background.
