He offered his prayers facingBaitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but hewished that he could pray facing the Ka'ba (at Mecca). The firstprayer which he offered facing the Ka'ba was the 'Asr prayer in thecompany of some people. Then one of those who had offered that prayerwith him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who werebowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem). He said addressingthem, "By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)facing Mecca (Ka'ba).' Hearing that, those people changed theirdirection towards the Ka'ba immediately. Jews and the people of thescriptures used to be pleased to see the Prophet (ﷺ) facing Jerusalem inprayers but when he changed his direction towards the Ka'ba, duringthe prayers, they disapproved of it.Al-Bara' added, "Before we changed our direction towards the Ka'ba(Mecca) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and wedid not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allahthen revealed: And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to belost (i.e. the prayers of those Muslims were valid).' " (2:143).

Then he further asked, "When will the Hour beestablished?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) replied, "The answerer has no betterknowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you about itsportents.1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competingwith others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour isone of five things which nobody knows except Allah.The Prophet (ﷺ) then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledgeof the Hour--."

Narrated Abu Jamra: I used to sit with Ibn 'Abbas and he made me sit on his sitting place.He requested me to stay with him in order that he might give me ashare from his property. So I stayed with him for two months. Once hetold (me) that when the delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came tothe Prophet, the Prophet (ﷺ) asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)?(Or) who are the delegate?" They replied, "We are from the tribe ofRabi'a." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said to them, "Welcome! O people (or Odelegation of 'Abdul Qais)! Neither will you have disgrace nor willyou regret." They said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! We cannot come to youexcept in the sacred month and there is the infidel tribe of Mudarintervening between you and us. So please order us to do somethinggood (religious deeds) so that we may inform our people whom we haveleft behind (at home), and that we may enter Paradise (by acting onthem)." Then they asked about drinks (what is legal and what isillegal). The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered them to do four things and forbade themfrom four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone and askedthem, "Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" Theyreplied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ)said, "It means:1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah andMuhammad is Allah's Messenger (ﷺ).2. To offer prayers perfectly3. To pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)4. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan.5. And to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah'sCause).Then he forbade them four things, namely, Hantam, Dubba,' Naqir AnnMuzaffat or Muqaiyar; (These were the names of pots in which Alcoholicdrinks were prepared) (The Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the container of wine andhe meant the wine itself). The Prophet (ﷺ) further said (to them):"Memorize them (these instructions) and convey them to the people whomyou have left behind."
