"أَنَّ رسولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّما أَنا لِكُم مِثْلُ الَوالِد لِلولَدِ إِذَا أَتيتُمُ الغَائِطَ فَلا تَستقْبِلوا الِقْبلةَ ولا تَستَدْبروهَا وأَمَر بثلاثَة أَحْجَارٍ، ونَهَى عنْ الرَّوْثِ والرَّمة: يَعْنِى العِظَامَ، وَنَهَى أَنْ يَسْتَطِيب الرَّجُلُ بِيمِينهِ".

When any one of you goes to Al-Khala' (the toilet), let him not face toward the Qiblah nor turn his back toward it, and let him not clean himself with his right hand." And he used to tell them to use three stones, and he forbade using dung or old bones.
