أَبا أَيُّوب يُخْبرُ عَنِ النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ :
" لَا تَسْتَقْبلُوا الْقِبلَةَ بغَائِطٍ وَلَا بوْلٍ ، وَلَكِنْ شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبوا " ، قَالَ أَبو أَيُّوب : فَقَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ فَوَجَدْنَا مَرَاحِيضَ جُعِلَتْ نَحْوَ الْقِبلَةِ ، فَنَنْحَرِفُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you goes to the toilet, he should not face the Qiblah, rather he should turn towards the east or the west. But when we reached Syria, we found that the toilets there were built facing the Qiblah, so we would turn our faces away while sitting in them and seek forgiveness.
