١٥٠٦ - وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيٌّ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، قَالَ: ثنا أَبُو أَحْمَدُ الزُّبَيْرِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا إِسْرَائِيلُ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنِ الْبَرَاءِ، قَالَ: " لَمَّا حُوِّلَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ: كَيْفَ بِأَصْحَابِنَا الَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ إِلَى بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ؟، فَنَزَلَتْ ﴿وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ﴾ [البقرة: ١٤٣] " أَخْرَجَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ، وَمُسْلِمٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ إِسْرَائِيلَ
