1018 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ قَالَ: ثنا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَجْلَانَ، عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: «إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ، فَإِذَا ذَهَبَ أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ، فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا بِغَائِطٍ، وَلَا بَوْلٍ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِثلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ، وَنَهَي عَنِ الرَّوَثِ وَالرِّمَّةِ، وَأَنْ يَسْتَنْجِيَ الرَّجُلُ بِيَمِينِهِ»
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I am like a father to you. I will teach and train you. When a person goes to relieve himself, he should neither face the Qiblah nor turn his back towards it while defecating or urinating." The narrator says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) instructed us to perform istinja (cleaning) with three stones, and he forbade us from using dung and bones for istinja. He also forbade that a person should perform istinja with his right hand.
