Sunan Abi Dawud 4680 (Book 42, Hadith 85) #24971
Faith Not Made of No Effect

SUMMARY: The Prophet (May peace be upon him) was asked what would happen to those who died while praying with their faces towards Jerusalem, and Allah revealed that their faith would not be made of no effect.

Ibn 'Abbas said: when the Prophet (May peace be upon him) turned towards the Ka’bah (in prayer), the people asked : Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him)! what will happen with those who died while they prayed with their faces towards Jerusalem ? Allah the Exalted, then revealed : "And never would Allah make your faith of no effect".
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، - الْمَعْنَى - قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ النَّبِيُّ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ‏{‏ وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ
