Hadith 1733
۞
3. Ali has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from certain persons of his people who has said the following
“I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who is in a ship and does not know the direction of al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah). He (the Imam) said, ‘He must make an effort to find the direction al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah) and if he cannot find it, performs Salah (prayer) facing toward where its head is.’”
3ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فِي الرَّجُلِ يَكُونُ فِي السَّفِينَةِ فَلاَ يَدْرِي أَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةُ قَالَ
يَتَحَرَّى فَإِنْ لَمْ يَدْرِ صَلَّى نَحْوَ رَأْسِهَا.
