Hadith 148
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.
Hadith 149
149 صحيح حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقولُ: إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا قَعَدْتَ عَلَى حَاجَتِكَ فَلاَ تَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَقَدِ ارْتَقَيْتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَنَا، فَرَأَيْتُ رسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلاً بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ
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.

150 صحيح حديث عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ ارْتَقَيْتُ فَوْقَ ظَهْرِ بَيْتِ حَفْصَةَ لِبَعضِ حَاجَتِي فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ مُسْتَدْبِرَ الْقِبْلَةِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الشَّامِ
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that (one day, for some need of mine) I climbed onto the roof of my sister and the noble wife of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Hafsah’s (may Allah be pleased with her) house, and I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) relieving himself with his back towards the Qiblah and his face towards Shaam (Syria).
