Hadith 506
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ((لَا يَبُولُ أَحَدُكُمْ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ)) وَأَنَا أَوَّلُ مَنْ حَدَّثَ النَّاسَ بِذَلِكَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Harith Zubaidi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: "I am the first person who heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: 'None of you should urinate facing the Qiblah.' And I am the first person who narrated this hadith to the people."
Hadith 507
عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْقِلِ الْأَسْدِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَهَى أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ بِبَوْلٍ أَوْ غَائِطٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ma’qil bin Abu Ma’qil Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade him from facing either of the two Qiblahs while urinating or defecating.
Hadith 508
عَنْ رَافِعٍ بْنِ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ مَوْلَى أَبِي طَلْحَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ وَهُوَ بِمِصْرَ: مَا أَدْرِي كَيْفَ أَصْنَعُ بِهَذِهِ الْكَرَايِيسِ؟ يَعْنِي الْكُنُفَ، وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى الْغَائِطِ أَوِ الْبَوْلِ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا))
Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) says, while he was in Egypt: "I do not know how I should use these toilets, while the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has said: 'When anyone goes to urinate or defecate, he should neither face the Qiblah nor turn his back towards it.'"
Hadith 509
عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلَنَّ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَكِنْ لِيُشَرِّقْ أَوْ لِيُغَرِّبْ، قَالَ: فَلَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ وَجَدْنَا مَرَاحِيضَ جُعِلَتْ نَحْوَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَنَنْحَرِفُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When any person goes to relieve himself, he should not face the Qiblah; he should turn his face towards the east or the west." He says: When we came to Syria, we saw that the toilets were built facing the Qiblah, so we would turn away and seek forgiveness from Allah Almighty.
Hadith 510
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ، إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا)) وَنَهَى عَنِ الرَّوْثِ وَالرِّمَّةِ ((وَلَا يَسْتَطِيبُ الرَّجُلُ بِيَمِينِهِ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I am like a father to you; when you go to relieve yourselves, do not face the Qiblah nor turn your back towards it." Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade the use of dung and decayed bones (for cleaning after relieving oneself), and also said: "A person should not clean himself with his right hand."
Hadith 511
عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ بَعْضُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَهُمْ يَسْتَهْزِئُونَ بِهِ: إِنِّي لَا أَرَى صَاحِبَكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ حَتَّى الْخِرَاءَةَ، قَالَ سَلْمَانُ: أَجَلْ، أَمَرَنَا أَنْ لَا نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ: وَلَا نَسْتَدْبِرَهَا) وَلَا نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِأَيْمَانِنَا وَلَا نَكْتَفِيَ بِدُونِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ لَيْسَ فِيهَا رَجِيعٌ وَلَا عَظْمٌ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) that a polytheist mockingly said: "I see that your Prophet even teaches you the manners of relieving yourselves." Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Yes, absolutely," he (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us that "we should not face the Qiblah nor turn our backs towards it (while relieving ourselves), nor use the right hand for cleaning, nor suffice with less than three stones, and none of them should be dung, manure, or a bone."
