Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) used to say that people used to say: When you sit to relieve yourself, do not face the Qiblah nor Bayt al-Maqdis. However, one day I climbed onto the roof of my house and I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sitting on two bricks facing Bayt al-Maqdis to relieve himself.
