الطبراني:٦٠٨١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنْبَاعِ رَوْحُ بْنُ الْفَرَجِ الْمِصْرِيُّ ثنا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَلْمَانَ الْجُعْفِيُّ ثنا حَفْصُ بْنُ غِيَاثٍ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سَلْمَانَ قَالَ

«نَهَانَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِقَضَاءِ الْحَاجَةِ وَأَنْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِدُونِ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ وَأَنْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِعَظْمٍ أَوْ رَجِيعٍ»
