وَعَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ رَبِيعَةَ - رضى الله عنه - قَالَ : { كُنَّا مَعَ اَلنَّبِيِّ - صلى الله عليه وسلم -فِي لَيْلَةٍ مَظْلَمَةٍ , فَأَشْكَلَتْ عَلَيْنَا اَلْقِبْلَةُ , فَصَلَّيْنَا . فَلَمَّا طَلَعَتِ اَلشَّمْسُ إِذَا نَحْنُ صَلَّيْنَا إِلَى غَيْرِ اَلْقِبْلَةِ , فَنَزَلَتْ : (فَأَيْنَمَا تُوَلُّوا فَثَمَّ وَجْهُ اَللَّهِ ) } أَخْرَجَهُ اَلتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَضَعَّفَهُ . 1
Narrated 'Aamir bin Rabi'ah (RA): We were with the Prophet (ﷺ) during a dark night and we became uncertain about the Qiblah (the direction of Makkah) we then prayed (without being certain). When the run rose, we discovered that we prayed towards a direction other than the Qiblah. So this Verse was revealed: "...so wherever you turn yourselves or your faces, there is the Face of Allah..." [Reported by at-Tirmidhi who graded it Da'if (weak)].
