Hadith 1003
Sahih — Darussalam
A man’s prayer behind the row on his own
‘Abdur-Rahman bin ‘Ali bin Shaiban narrated that his father, ‘Ali
bin
Shaiban, who was part of the delegation, said: “We set out
until we
came to the Prophet (ﷺ). We gave him our oath of
allegiance and
performed prayer behind him. Then we offered another
prayer behind
him. He finished the prayer and saw a man on his own,
praying behind
the row.” He said: “The Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah (ﷺ)
stood beside him and
when he finished he said: ‘Repeat your prayer;
there is no prayer for
the one who is behind the row.’”

Hadith 1008
Sahih — Darussalam
The Prayer direction
It was
narrated that Jabir said: “When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
finished Tawaf around the House (the Ka’bah), he came to Maqam of
Ibrahim (the Station of Ibrahim). ‘Umar said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah,
this is the Station of our father Ibrahim about which Allah
said: “And
take you (people) the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place of
prayer.’” [2:125]
It was
narrated that Anas bin Malik told that ‘Umar said: “I said: ‘O
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), why do you not take the Maqam of Ibrahim as
a place of prayer?’ Then the following was revealed: ‘And take
you
(people) the Maqam of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.’” [2:125]
It was
narrated that Bara’ said: “We prayed with the Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) facing towards Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for eighteen
months,
then the Qiblah was changed to the Ka’bah two months after the
Prophet (ﷺ) entered Al-Madinah. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
prayed towards Baitul-Maqdis, he would often lift his face towards
the
heavens, and Allah knew what was in the heart of His Prophet and
how
he longed to face the Ka’bah (during prayer). Jibril appeared
(in the
sky), and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) started watching him
as he was
descending between the heavens and the earth, waiting to
see what he
would bring. Then Allah revealed the words: ‘Verily, We
have seen the
turning of your face towards the heaven. Surely, We
shall turn you to
a Qiblah that shall please you, so turn your face
in the direction of
Al-Masjid Al-Haram (at Makkah). And wherever you
people are, turn your
faces (during prayer) in that direction.’
[2:144] Then someone came to
us and said: ‘The Qiblah has been
changed to the Ka’bah.’ We had
performed two Rak’ah facing
towards Jerusalem. And we were bowing. So
we turned around, and we
continued our prayer. The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘O Jibril!
What about our prayer facing towards Baitul-
Maqdis?’ Then Allah
revealed the words: “And Allah would never make
your faith to be
lost.” [2:143]

Whoever performs Prayer facing a direction other than the Qiblah without realizing
It was
narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amir bin Rabi’ah that his father
said: “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]

Hadith 1022
Sahih — Darussalam
The one who spits performing Prayer
It was
narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
saw some
sputum in the direction of the Qiblah of the mosque. He
turned to the
people and said: “What is wrong with one of you that he
stands
facing Him (meaning his Lord) and spits in front of Him? Would
anyone
like to be faced by someone who spits in his face? If anyone of
you
needs to spit, then let him spit to his left, or let him do like
this
in his garment.”
Then Ismail (Abu Bakr bin Abu Shuaibah) showed me how he spat in his garment then rubbed it.
