حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلَالٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ يَحْيَى الْمَازِنِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبِي زَيْدٍ مَوْلَى الثَّعْلَبِيِّينَ ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ أَبِي مَعْقِلٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ ، وَقَدْ صَحِبَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَتَيْنِ بِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بِبَوْلٍ " .
´It was narrated that Ma'qil bin Abu Ma'qil Al-Asadi, who was a Companion of the Prophet, said:` "The Messenger of Allah forbade us from facing either of the two Qiblah when defecating or urinating."

➊ This narration is weak; Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has also called it "munkar." However, those who consider it authentic have provided explanations for it. For example, Allamah Khattabi rahimahullah says that the possible explanations for this ruling are as follows: First, that whoever faces the Baytullah, i.e., the Ka'bah, in Madinah Munawwarah will inevitably have his back towards Bayt al-Maqdis. The second explanation could be that since Bayt al-Maqdis was also the qiblah of the Muslims, its respect is also necessary, and this prohibition is of a non-emphatic (tanzihi) nature.
