ذِكْرُ مَا خَصَّ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا رَسُولَهُ دُونَ الْبَشَرِ بِمَا كَانَ يَرَى خَلْفَهُ كَمَا كَانَ يَرَى أَمَامَهُ

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you consider or see that my face is towards the Qibla? By Allah, neither your submissiveness nor your bowing is hidden from me, surely I see you from my back." (Using translation from Bukhārī 418)  

ابن حبّان:٦٣٣٧أَخْبَرَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ تَرَوْنَ قِبْلَتِي هَا هُنَا؟ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا يَخْفَى عَلَيَّ خُشُوعُكُمْ وَلَا رُكُوعُكُمْ وَإِنِّي لَأَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظَهْرِي»
