Regarding Surat Al-Baqarah
Jami at-Tirmidhi
حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ غَيْلاَنَ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ السَّمَّانُ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي سَفَرِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ مُظْلِمَةٍ فَلَمْ نَدْرِ أَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةُ فَصَلَّى كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا عَلَى حِيَالِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْنَا ذَكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَنَزَلَتْ : (أَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ ) . قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَشْعَثَ السَّمَّانِ أَبِي الرَّبِيعِ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ . وَأَشْعَثُ يُضَعَّفُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ .
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amir bin Rabi'ah: 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)"
