[Machine] He used to say that some people say, "When you sit down to relieve yourself, do not face the Qibla (direction of prayer) or the Al-Masjid Al-Haram (the Sacred Mosque)." Abdullah bin Umar said, "I have climbed upon the roof of our house and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on two stones facing the Al-Masjid Al-Haram for his needs." Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz informed us that Abu Bakr bin Ishaq informed us that Muhammad bin Ghaleb informed us that Abdullah bin Qa'nabi narrated it from Malik, and it was narrated by Al-Bukhari in his Sahih from Abdullah bin Yusuf from Malik.  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أُنَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا قَعَدْتَ عَلَى حَاجَتِكَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبَلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَقَدِ ارْتَقَيْتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتِنَا فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلًا بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ 436 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ غَالِبٍ أنا عَبْدُ اللهِ هُوَ الْقَعْنَبِيُّ عَنْ مَالِكٍ فَذَكَرَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ وَرَوَاهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ مَالِكٍ  

[Machine] He informed him, saying, Abdullah bin Umar said, "I once climbed up on the top of a house of ours and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting on two bricks, facing towards Sham (Syria) with his back towards the Qibla (Kaaba)."  

أَخْبَرَهُ قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَقَدْ رَقِيتُ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَنَا فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَاعِدًا عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ لِحَاجَتِهِ مُسْتَقْبِلًا الشَّامِ مُسْتَدْبِرًا الْقِبْلَةِ  

[Machine] About this in space, if there is something between you and the qibla that is covering you, then there is no harm. Abu Ali Ar-Rudhabari informed us, Abu Bakr ibn Dasa informed us, Abu Dawud narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Faris narrated to us, Safwan ibn Isa mentioned it in a similar manner.  

عَنْ ذَلِكَ فِي الْفَضَاءِ فَإِذَا كَانَ بَيْنَكَ وَبَيْنَ الْقِبْلَةِ شَيْءٌ يَسْتُرُكَ فَلَا بَأْسَ 439 أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ أنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ دَاسَةَ أنا أَبُو دَاودَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ فَارِسٍ ثنا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ عِيسَى فَذَكَرَهُ بِمِثْلِهِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade us from facing or turning away from the qibla with our private parts when urinating. However, I saw him before his death, in the same year, urine while facing the qibla. This is not mentioned in the hadith of Abu Abdullah, except in its meaning. And it has been transmitted.  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَدْ نَهَانَا أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ أَوْ نَسْتَدْبِرَهَا بِفُرُوجِنَا إِذَا أَهْرَقْنَا الْمَاءَ ثُمَّ قَدْ رَأَيْتُهُ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِعَامٍ يَبُولُ مُسْتَقْبِلًا الْقِبْلَةِ وَلَيْسَ فِي حَدِيثِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ بِعَامٍ وَالْبَاقِي بِمَعْنَاهُ وَقَدْ  

[Machine] I did not face the qibla, nor did I turn away from it due to urine or feces since such and such time. Ar-Raakha narrated to me that Aisha, the Mother of the Believers, said: "When the Prophet ﷺ was alarmed by what people were saying, he ordered for his place of sitting to be brought, and he faced the qibla with it." It was reported by Hammad bin Salamah from Khalid al-Hadda' in the chain of narration of this hadith. Abdul-Wahhab ath-Thaqafi also narrated it from Khalid al-Hadda' from a man from ar-Raakha from Aisha. It was also reported by Abu 'Awanah and others from Khalid al-Hadda' from ar-Raakha from Aisha.  

مَا اسْتَقْبَلْتُ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا اسْتَدْبَرْتُهَا بِبَوْلٍ وَلَا غَائِطٍ مُنْذُ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَقَالَ عِرَاكٌ حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ أُمُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ؓ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ لَمَّا بَلَغَهُ قَوْلُ النَّاسِ فِي ذَلِكَ أَمَرَ بِمَقْعَدَتِهِ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ بِهَا الْقِبْلَةَ تَابَعَهُ حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ فِي إِقَامَةِ إِسْنَادِهِ وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ عِرَاكٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَرَوَاهُ أَبُو عَوَانَةَ وَغَيْرُهُ عَنْ خَالِدٍ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ عِرَاكٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ  

[Machine] I said to Shu'ayb ibn al-Harith, "I am amazed by the disagreement between Abu Hurayrah and Ibn Umar." He said, "Nafi' narrated from Ibn Umar that he entered the house of Hafsah and happened to face the direction of the qibla, and he saw the urine of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Abu Hurayrah said, 'When any one of you enters the toilet, he should not face or turn his back towards the qibla.'" Shu'ayb said, "They are both truthful. As for Abu Hurayrah's statement, he said it in the desert. Indeed, Allah has worshippers who are angels and jinn who pray. No one should face or turn his back towards them while urinating or defecating. As for the urine of the Messenger, it is just a house that is built and there is no qibla in it. And this is how it is."  

قُلْتُ لِلشَّعْبِيِّ وَأَنَا أَعْجَبُ مِنَ اخْتِلَافِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ نَافِعٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ دَخَلْتُ بَيْتَ حَفْصَةَ فَحَانَتْ مِنِّي الْتِفَاتَةٌ فَرَأَيْتُ كَنِيفَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مُسْتَقْبِلًا الْقِبْلَةَ 442 وَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا قَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ صَدَقَا جَمِيعًا أَمَّا قَوْلُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ فَهُوَ فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عِبَادًا مَلَائِكَةً وَجِنًّا يُصَلُّونَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلْهُمْ أَحَدٌ بِبَوْلٍ وَلَا غَائِطٍ وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهُمْ وَأَمَّا كُنُفُهُمْ هَذِهِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ بَيْتٌ يُبْنَى لَا قِبْلَةَ فِيهِ وَهَكَذَا
