حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، سَمِعَ زُهَيْرًا، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم صَلَّى إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا أَوْ سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا، وَكَانَ يُعْجِبُهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ قِبْلَتُهُ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَإِنَّهُ صَلَّى ـ أَوْ صَلاَّهَا ـ صَلاَةَ الْعَصْرِ، وَصَلَّى مَعَهُ قَوْمٌ، فَخَرَجَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ صَلَّى مَعَهُ، فَمَرَّ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْمَسْجِدِ وَهُمْ رَاكِعُونَ قَالَ أَشْهَدُ بِاللَّهِ لَقَدْ صَلَّيْتُ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِبَلَ مَكَّةَ، فَدَارُوا كَمَا هُمْ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ، وَكَانَ الَّذِي مَاتَ عَلَى الْقِبْلَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُحَوَّلَ قِبَلَ الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ قُتِلُوا لَمْ نَدْرِ مَا نَقُولُ فِيهِمْ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ ‏{‏وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ ‏}‏

Narrated Al-Bara:The Prophet (ﷺ) prayed facing Bait-ulMaqdis (i.e. Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months but he wished that his Qibla would be the Ka`ba (at Mecca). (So Allah Revealed (2.144) and he offered `Asr prayers(in his Mosque facing Ka`ba at Mecca) and some people prayed with him. A man from among those who had prayed with him, went out and passed by some people offering prayer in another mosque, and they were in the state of bowing. He said, "I, (swearing by Allah,) testify that I have prayed with the Prophet (ﷺ) facing Mecca." Hearing that, they turned their faces to the Ka`ba while they were still bowing. Some men had died before the Qibla was changed towards the Ka`ba. They had been killed and we did not know what to say about them (i.e. whether their prayers towards Jerusalem were accepted or not). So Allah revealed:-- "And Allah would never make your faith (i.e. prayer) to be lost (i.e. your prayers offered (towards Jerusalem). Truly Allah is Full of Pity, Most Merciful towards mankind

Rapporté par Al-Bara : Le Prophète (ﷺ) priait en direction de Bayt al-Maqdis (c’est-à-dire Jérusalem) pendant seize ou dix-sept mois, mais il souhaitait que sa Qibla soit la Ka`ba (à La Mecque). (Alors Allah a révélé (2.144) et il a accompli la prière d’Asr dans sa mosquée en direction de la Ka`ba à La Mecque et certaines personnes ont prié avec lui. Un homme parmi ceux qui avaient prié avec lui est sorti et a croisé des gens en train de prier dans une autre mosquée, alors qu’ils étaient en inclinaison. Il a dit : « Je jure par Allah que j’ai prié avec le Prophète (ﷺ) en direction de La Mecque. » En entendant cela, ils ont tourné leur visage vers la Ka`ba alors qu’ils étaient encore en inclinaison. Certains hommes étaient morts avant que la Qibla ne soit changée vers la Ka`ba. Ils avaient été tués et nous ne savions pas quoi dire à leur sujet (c’est-à-dire si leurs prières vers Jérusalem étaient acceptées ou non). Alors Allah a révélé : « Et Allah ne laissera jamais perdre votre foi (c’est-à-dire vos prières faites vers Jérusalem). En vérité, Allah est Plein de bonté, Très Miséricordieux envers les gens. »
