People say, "Whenever you sit for answering the call of nature, you should not face the Qibla or Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem)." I told them. "Once I went up the roof of our house and I saw Allah's Apostle answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) (but there was a screen covering him. ' (Fath-al-Bari, Page 258, Vol. 1).  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا قَعَدْتَ عَلَى حَاجَتِكَ فَلاَ تَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَقَدِ ارْتَقَيْتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَنَا فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلاً بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ وَقَالَ لَعَلَّكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى أَوْرَاكِهِمْ فَقُلْتُ لاَ أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ قَالَ مَالِكٌ يَعْنِي الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَلاَ يَرْتَفِعُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ يَسْجُدُ وَهُوَ لاَصِقٌ بِالأَرْضِ  

I was offering my prayer in the mosque and Abdullah b. Umar 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.  

عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ نَاسٌ إِذَا قَعَدْتَ لِلْحَاجَةِ تَكُونُ لَكَ فَلاَ تَقْعُدْ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَلاَ بَيْتِ الْمَقْدِسِ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَلَقَدْ رَقِيتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَاعِدًا عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلاً بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ  

[Machine] He used to say that some people would say, "If you sit for your need, do not face the Qibla (direction of prayer) or the Al-Aqsa Mosque. I climbed on the back of our house and saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sitting with his back towards the Qibla for his need."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا قَعَدْتَ لِحَاجَتِكَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لَقَدِ ارْتَقَيْتُ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتِنَا «فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ بَيْتَ الْمَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ»  

[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
