Chapter on the Qiblah (Direction of Prayer)

أَبُو اَلْعَبَّاسِ اِبْنُ عُقْدَةَ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا تَغْلِبُ بْنُ اَلضَّحَّاكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ اَلْجُعْفِيُّ أَبُو اَلْوَلِيدِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ:« اَلْبَيْتُ قِبْلَةٌ لِأَهْلِ اَلْمَسْجِدِ وَ اَلْمَسْجِدُ قِبْلَةٌ لِأَهْلِ اَلْحَرَمِ وَ اَلْحَرَمُ قِبْلَةٌ لِلنَّاسِ جَمِيعاً»
Narrated by Abu al-Abbas Ibn ‘Uqdah from al-Husayn ibn Muhammad ibn Hazim, who said: Taghlib ibn al-Dahhak narrated to us, who said: Bishr ibn Ja’far al-Ju’fi Abu al-Walid narrated to us, who said: I (Bishr ibn Ja’far) heard (Imam) Ja’far ibn Muhammad عليه السلام, peace be upon him, say: "The House (Ka’bah) is the qiblah for the people of the Mosque, and the Mosque is the qiblah for the people of the Haram, and the Haram is the qiblah for all people."
