أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، قَالَ: ثنا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: ثنا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا تَوَجَّهَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، كَيْفَ بِالَّذِينَ مَاتُوا وَهُمْ يُصَلُّونَ نَحْوَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ؟ ⦗٨٩٨⦘ قَالَ: ﴿وَمَا كَانَ اللَّهُ لِيُضِيعَ إِيمَانَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ﴾
