148 صحيح حديث أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِذَا أَتَيْتمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلاَ تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا، وَلكِنْ شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبُوا قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ: فَقَدِمْنَا الشَّأْمَ فَوَجَدْنَا مَرَاحِيضَ بُنِيَتْ قِبَلَ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَنَنْحَرِفُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ تَعَالَى
Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you go to relieve yourselves, do not face the Qiblah nor turn your back towards it. Rather, turn your face towards the east or the west at that time. Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When we came to Syria, the toilets there were built facing the Qiblah. (When we went to relieve ourselves) we would turn away and seek forgiveness from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
