قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: {فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللهِ} [البقرة: 115]

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to pray on his riding animal wherever it would take him, then he recited this verse: "So wherever you [might] turn, there is the face of Allah." [Quran 2:115]  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٩٣٠أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ آدَمَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ كَانَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ ثُمَّ تَلَا هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللهِ} [البقرة 115]
