"إِنَّمَا أَنا لكم بمنزلةِ الوالدِ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ، فإِذا أَتى أحدُكم الغائطَ فلا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقبْلَة ولا يستدبرْها، ولا يَسْتَطِب بيمينِهِ ".

Collected by Abū Dāwūd, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ibn Ḥibbān, Ṭabarānī, Bayhaqī, SuyūṭīThe Prophet ﷺ is like a father to us teaching us and correcting our ways
The Apostle of Allaah ( sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam ) as saying: I am like father to you. When any of you goes to privy, he should not face or turn his back towards the qiblah. He should not cleanse with his right hand. He (the Prophet, sal Allaahu alayhi wa sallam) also commanded the Muslims to use three stones and forbade them to use dung or decayed bone.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْوَالِدِ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ فَإِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلاَ يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا وَلاَ يَسْتَطِبْ بِيَمِينِهِ وَكَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِثَلاَثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ وَيَنْهَى عَنِ الرَّوْثِ وَالرِّمَّةِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا وَنَهَى عَنِ الرَّوَثِ وَالرِّمَّةِ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيبُ الرَّجُلُ بِيَمِينِهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, "I am to you like a father to a child. I teach you, so do not face the qibla (direction of prayer) or turn your back to it. And if you perform ablution, do not wipe your right hand with it."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ لِلْوَلَدِ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا وَإِذَا اسْتَطَبْتَ فَلَا تَسْتَطِبْ بِيَمِينِكَ»
