Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ مُقْبِلًا مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ حَيْثُ تَوَجَّهَتْ بِهِ وَفِيهِ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ { فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ }.
English Translation
Yahya narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Malik: Sa'id ibn Jubayr narrated to us, that Ibn 'Umar said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray upon his mount while coming from Mecca to Medina, wherever it turned, and it was concerning this that this verse was revealed: "So wherever you turn, there is the Face of Allah."
