Hadith 844
Hadith.844 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said : "Indeed, Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, made the Ka’ba the Qiblah (direction of prayer) for the people of the mosque (Masjid al-Haram), and He made the mosque the Qiblah for the people of the sanctuary (Haram), and He made the sanctuary the Qiblah for the people of the world."
844 - قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِنَّ اَللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وتَعَالَى جَعَلَ اَلْكَعْبَةَ قِبْلَةً لِأَهْلِ اَلْمَسْجِدِ وَ جَعَلَ اَلْمَسْجِدَ قِبْلَةً لِأَهْلِ اَلْحَرَمِ وَ جَعَلَ اَلْحَرَمَ قِبْلَةً لِأَهْلِ اَلدُّنْيَا.

Hadith 845
Hadith.845 - Al-Mufaddal ibn Umar asked Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) about the deviation of some of our companions to the left from the Qiblah and the reason for it. Imam (as) replied: "When the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) was brought down from Paradise and placed in its position, the boundaries of the Haram (sanctuary) were determined by the reach of the light emanating from the Stone. It is four miles to the right of the Ka’ba and eight miles to the left, making a total of twelve miles. Thus, if a person deviates to the right, they leave the boundary of the Qiblah due to the lesser extent of the Haram's boundary, but if they deviate to the left, they do not leave the boundary of the Qiblah."
845 - وَ سَأَلَ اَلْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: عَنِ اَلتَّحْرِيفِ لِأَصْحَابِنَا ذَاتَ اَلْيَسَارِ عَنِ اَلْقِبْلَةِ وَ عَنِ اَلسَّبَبِ فِيهِ فَقَالَ
«إِنَّ اَلْحَجَرَ اَلْأَسْوَدَ لَمَّا أُنْزِلَ مِنَ اَلْجَنَّةِ وَ وُضِعَ فِي مَوْضِعِهِ جُعِلَ أَنْصَابُ اَلْحَرَمِ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَحِقَهُ اَلنُّورُ نُورُ اَلْحَجَرِ فَهُوَ عَنْ يَمِينِ اَلْكَعْبَةِ أَرْبَعَةُ أَمْيَالٍ وَ عَنْ يَسَارِهَا ثَمَانِيَةُ أَمْيَالٍ كُلُّهُ اِثْنَا عَشَرَ مِيلاً فَإِذَا اِنْحَرَفَ اَلْإِنْسَانُ ذَاتَ اَلْيَمِينِ خَرَجَ عَنْ حَدِّ اَلْقِبْلَةِ لِقِلَّةِ أَنْصَابِ اَلْحَرَمِ وَ إِذَا اِنْحَرَفَ اَلْإِنْسَانُ ذَاتَ اَلْيَسَارِ لَمْ يَكُنْ خَارِجاً عَنْ حَدِّ اَلْقِبْلَةِ.

Hadith.847 – Zurarah and Muhammad ibn Muslim narrated from Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) that He said
"For one who is confused (about the direction of the Qiblah), it suffices for him to pray in whichever direction he faces if he does not know where the Qiblah is."
847 - وَ رَوَى زُرَارَةُ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «يُجْزِي اَلْمُتَحَيِّرَ أَبَداً أَيْنَمَا تَوَجَّهَ إِذَا لَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَيْنَ وَجْهُ اَلْقِبْلَةِ.

848 - وَ سَأَلَهُ مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ: عَنِ اَلرَّجُلِ يَقُومُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ ثُمَّ يَنْظُرُ بَعْدَ مَا فَرَغَ فَيَرَى أَنَّهُ قَدِ اِنْحَرَفَ عَنِ اَلْقِبْلَةِ يَمِيناً أَوْ شِمَالاً فَقَالَ
لَهُ «قَدْ مَضَتْ صَلاَتُهُ وَ مَا بَيْنَ اَلْمَشْرِقِ وَ اَلْمَغْرِبِ قِبْلَةٌ.

أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «إِذَا ظَهَرَ اَلنَّزُّ مِنْ خَلْفِ اَلْكَنِيفِ وَ هُوَ فِي اَلْقِبْلَةِ يَسْتُرُهُ بِشَيْءٍ.

Stand upright." The Prophet (sw) said: "Whoever does not straighten their spine (while standing) has no prayer." And lower your gaze in humility before Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic; do not raise it to the sky. Let your gaze be directed in front of you toward your place of prostration”.
