[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray while he was in Mecca, facing the direction of Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa, with the Kaaba in front of him. After migrating to Medina, he continued praying towards Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa for sixteen months before the direction of prayer was changed towards the Kaaba.
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَالْكَعْبَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَبَعْدَ مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ صُرِفَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray while he was in Mecca, facing the direction of the Sacred House (Jerusalem) and the Kaaba was in front of him. After migrating for sixteen months, he then turned towards the Kaaba.
«كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُصَلِّي وَهُوَ بِمَكَّةَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَالْكَعْبَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَبَعْدَمَا هَاجَرَ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ»
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray towards the direction of Masjid al-Aqsa and the Kaaba, with both of them in front of him. After moving to Medina, he continued to pray in this direction for sixteen months, then Allah Almighty changed the direction towards the Kaaba.
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ وَالْكَعْبَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَبَعْدَ مَا تَحَوَّلَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ شَهْرًا ثُمَّ صَرَفَهُ اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ
