[Machine] A man from the companions of the Prophet ﷺ narrated that a man said, "Indeed, I see your companion teaching you how to make the call of nature. He even teaches you when one of you goes to answer the call of nature." I said, "Yes, of course. Even if you were to make fun of it, he would still teach us how one of us should go to answer the call of nature. And indeed, he prohibits us from facing the Qibla while urinating or defecating, and from turning our backs towards it. He also advises us not to clean ourselves with bones or dung, and to perform istinja (cleaning oneself after using the toilet) with less than three stones."  

حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ قَالَ رَجُلٌ إِنِّي لَأَرَى صَاحِبَكُمْ يُعَلِّمُكُمْ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُونَ حَتَّى إِنَّهُ لَيُعَلِّمُكُمْ إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ أَجَلْ وَلَوْ سَخِرْتَ إِنَّهُلَيُعَلِّمُنَا كَيْفَ يَأْتِي أَحَدُنَا الْغَائِطَ؟ وَإِنَّهُ يَنْهَانَا أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلَ أَحَدُنَا الْقِبْلَةَ وَأَنْ يَسْتَدْبِرَهَا وَأَنْ يَسْتَنْجِيَ أَحَدُنَا بِيَمِينِهِ وَأَنْ يَتَمَسَّحَ أَحَدُنَا بِرَجِيعٍ وَلَا عَظْمٍ وَأَنْ يَسْتَنْجِيَ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ
