Sunan Ibn Majah 1011 (Book 5, Hadith 209) #30363
Prayer Direction for Al-Madinah Inhabitants

SUMMARY: The Qiblah (prayer direction) for the inhabitants of Al-Madinah is between the east and the west.

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: "The Messenger of Allah said: 'What is between the east and the west is the Qiblah (prayer direction).’"* *This refers to the Qiblah for the the inhabitants of Al-Madinah. (Makkah is to the exact south of Al-Madinah)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الأَزْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْشَرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray facing a direction between east and west if you live in Al-Madinah.

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that the prayer direction, or Qiblah, for those living in Al-Madinah is between east and west. This means that when they pray, they should face in a direction that lies somewhere between east and west. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught this to his companion Abu Hurairah who then passed it on to us. It is important to remember this teaching as it helps us stay connected with Allah SWT through our prayers. We must always be mindful of our prayer direction so we can make sure we are praying correctly and fulfilling our religious obligations as Muslims.
