حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بِلَالٍ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ مُسْنِدٌ ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ ، فَلَمَّا قَضَيْتُ صَلَاتِي ، انْصَرَفْتُ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ شِقِّي ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ نَاسٌ : إِذَا قَعَدْتَ لِلْحَاجَةِ تَكُونُ لَكَ ، فَلَا تَقْعُدْ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ ، وَلَا بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ ، قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ : وَلَقَدْ رَقِيتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ ، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَاعِدًا عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ ، مُسْتَقْبِلًا بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ " .
Wasi' bin Habban reported: I was offering my prayer in the mosque and 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) was sitting there reclining with his back towards the Qibla. After completing my prayer. I went to him from one side. 'Abdullah said: People say when you go to the latrine, you should neither turn your face towards the Qibla nor towards Bait-ul-Maqdis. 'Abdullah said (farther): I went up to the roof of the house and saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) squatting on two bricks for relieving himself with his face towards Bait-al-Maqdis.
