Sahih al-Bukhari 4491 (Book 65, Hadith 18) #4279
Turning Towards the Ka'ba During Prayers

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) was instructed to face the Ka'ba (at Mecca) during prayers, and those praying at Quba' mosque were also instructed to turn their faces towards it.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: While some people were offering Fajr prayer at Quba' (mosque), some-one came to them and said, "Tonight some Qur'anic Verses have been revealed to the Prophet and he has been ordered to face the Ka'ba (at Mecca) (during prayers), so you too should turn your faces towards it". At that time their faces were towards Sham (Jerusalem) so they turned towards the Ka'ba (at Mecca).
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ قَزَعَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ بَيْنَا النَّاسُ بِقُبَاءٍ فِي صَلاَةِ الصُّبْحِ إِذْ جَاءَهُمْ آتٍ فَقَالَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلَةَ قُرْآنٌ، وَقَدْ أُمِرَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ الْكَعْبَةَ فَاسْتَقْبِلُوهَا‏.‏ وَكَانَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ إِلَى الشَّأْمِ فَاسْتَدَارُوا إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how Muslims should pray. It tells us that when the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was given instructions from Allah, he was told to face the Ka’bah in Mecca while praying. He then passed on this instruction to those who were offering Fajr prayer at Quba’ mosque, which is located near Medina. This means that all Muslims should turn their faces towards the Ka’bah when they are praying, no matter where they are in the world. This teaches us that we should always follow Allah's instructions and be obedient to Him even if it means changing our habits or routines. It also shows us how important it is for Muslims to stay connected with each other and share knowledge of Islam with one another so that everyone can benefit from it.
