[ The face of God to the praying person is only in his qibla ]

(Check the original text in Arabic ...)

I saw an article by some of the people of al-Zahir that it is not permissible to perform the Witr prayer except on a mount only, not on a mount other than a donkey, a mule, or a horse, nor on a mount except the Witr prayer. The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, never performed the Witr prayer on his mount, wherever it was directed, except with the Qiblah in his face, as we have established. He had a condition like this, which is confirmed for him in his prayer and all his actions, and this is confirmed by the Almighty’s saying, “And wherever you turn, there is the face of God, and the face of God to the praying person is only in his qiblah, so this indicates that whoever has this description and sees the qiblah with one eye that is in the direction next to it, then he is praying towards the qiblah.
