"We were with the Prophet on a journey on a very dark night and we did not know the direction of the Qiblah. So each man among us prayed in his own direction. In the morning when we mentioned that to the Prophet, then the following was revealed: So where ever you turn, there is the Face of Allah."

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ فَلَمْ نَدْرِ أَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةُ فَصَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا عَلَى حِيَالِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَ (فَأَيْنَمَا تُولُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ الله)

from his father who said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey on a very dark night and we did not know where the Qiblah was. So each man among us prayed in his own direction. In the morning when we mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then the following was revealed: "So wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah. (2:115)"

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ فَلَمْ نَدْرِ أَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةُ فَصَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا عَلَى حِيَالِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَنَزَلَتْ (أَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ )

“We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on a journey, and the sky was overcast so it was difficult for us to determine the Qiblah. So we performed prayer, and we marked the location.* Later, when the sun reappeared, we realized that we had prayed facing a direction other than the Qiblah. We mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, then the Words were revealed: ‘So wherever you turn there is the Face of Allah.’” [2:115]

كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَتَغَيَّمَتِ السَّمَاءُ وَأَشْكَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْقِبْلَةُ فَصَلَّيْنَا وَأَعْلَمْنَا فَلَمَّا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ إِذَا نَحْنُ قَدْ صَلَّيْنَا لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ}

[AI] Once, while we were traveling, darkness overtook us and the direction of the Qibla became unclear to us. Each of us prayed according to his own judgment. When it became clear, some of us had prayed in a direction other than the Qibla, while others had prayed towards the Qibla. We then mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and he said, "Your prayers have passed and been accepted, for Allah says, 'And to Allah belongs the east and the west. So wherever you turn, there is the face of Allah.'" (Quran 2:115)

أُظْلِمَتْ مَرَّةً وَنَحْنُ فِي سَفَرٍ وَاشْتَبَهَتْ عَلَيْنَا الْقِبْلَةُ فَصَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا حِيَالَهُ فَلَمَّا انْجَلَتْ إِذَا بَعْضُنَا صَلَّى لِغَيْرِ الْقِبْلَةِ وَبَعْضُنَا قَدْ صَلَّى لِلْقِبْلَةِ فَذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَضَتْ صَلَاتُكُمْ وَنَزَلَتْ {فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللهِ} [البقرة 115]
