Narrated Al-Bara : when the prophet came to Medina , he stayed first with his grandfathers or maternal uncles from Ansar . He offered his prayers facing Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months , but he wished that he could pray facing the Ka'ba (at Mecca) . The first prayer which he offered facing the Ka'ba was the 'Asr prayer in the company of some people . Then one of those who had offered that prayer with him came out and passed by some people in a Mosque who were bowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem) . He said addresing them , "By Allah , I testify that I have prayed with Allah's Apostle facing Mecca (Ka'ba)  ;
Hearing that , those people changed their direction towards the Ka'ba immediately . Jews and the people of the scriptures used to be pleased to see the prophet facing Jerusalem in prayers but when he changed his direction towards the Ka'ba , during the 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 we did not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers ). Allah then revealed : And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be last i.e. the prayers of those Muslims were valid; "
