Explanation of Umdat al-Ahkam: "Anas ibn Sirin said: We went out to meet Anas when he arrived from Sham, and we met him at 'Ayn al-Tamr. I saw him praying on a donkey, and his face was toward this side, meaning to the left of the qiblah. So I said: I saw you praying in a direction other than the qiblah. He said: If I had not seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) doing it, I would not have done it."

The reader: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In what he transmitted from Anas ibn Sirin, he said: Sahih al-Bukhari 1100.
The Shaykh : Did you see me?
The reader:Sahih al-Bukhari 1100.
The Shaykh : What is the difference between "I saw you" (ra'aytuka) and "I saw you" (ra'aytuka)?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : "I saw you" (ra'aytuka) is a past tense verb. "I saw you" (ra'aytuka) is a present tense verb.
The student: In "I saw you" (ra'aytuka), the taa here is the object. In "I saw you" (ra'aytuka), the taa here is the subject.
The Shaykh : A good subject. The distinction is not correct; the distinction is incorrect.
The student: For the one being addressed and for the speaker.
The Shaykh : This is correct. Which one is for the one being addressed?
The student: For the one being addressed, "I saw you" (ra'aytuka) is for the one being addressed.
The Shaykh : Yes, "I saw you" (ra'aytuka) is for the one being addressed. And "I saw you" (ra'aytuka) is for the speaker, who is the one being addressed. There is no harm in that. Good.
Allah the Exalted said:. "Did you see" (ara'aytaka) is said by Satan addressing Allah: Yes.
The reader:Sahih al-Bukhari 1100.
The Shaykh : Yes, regarding this hadith, we say the same as we said previously about the permissibility of voluntary prayer on a mount, even if the person is not facing the qiblah. Yes.
And among its benefits is: using the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as evidence, and that the action of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is a proof. So if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did something, it is a proof. If he did it as an act of worship, then it is evidence that it is prescribed. And if he did it as a matter of permissibility and not as an act of worship, then it is evidence that it is permissible. Yes.

We went to receive Anas bin Malik when he returned from Sham and met him at a place called 'Ainat- Tamr. I saw him praying riding the donkey, with his face to this direction, i.e. to the left of the Qibla. I said to him, "I have seen you offering the prayer in a direction
