Explanation of the Book of Prayer-07
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: Jami` at-Tirmidhi 342Sahih (Darussalam). Al-Tirmidhi narrated it, and al-Bukhari graded it as sound." "What" is a relative pronoun acting as the subject, and "between" is the relative clause modifying the pronoun, while "qiblah" is the predicate of the subject. This means the qiblah for the one praying. The address here is for those whose qiblah is to the south or to the north. An example of the first is the people of Madinah and the people of Sham; their qiblah is to the south. An example of the second is the people of Yemen; their qiblah is to the north. Jami` at-Tirmidhi 342Sahih (Darussalam) This indicates what was mentioned previously regarding being far from the qiblah, i.e., from the Ka'bah. Therefore, it is obligatory for him to face the direction.
