اَلطَّاطَرِيُّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ عَلاَءِ بْنِ رَزِينٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ اَلْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ« ضَعِ اَلْجَدْيَ فِي قَفَاكَ وَ صَلِّ»
Narrated by al-Tatari from Ja’far ibn Sama’ah from al-’Alaʾ ibn Razin from Muhammad ibn Muslim from one of the two (Imams عليه السلام), peace be upon them, who said:
I asked Him عليه السلام about the qiblah. Imam عليه السلام said: "Place al-Jady (the Pole Star) behind you and pray."
