(ق) عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلّى الله عليه وسلّم قَالَ : (إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الغَائِطَ؛ فَلاَ تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلاَ تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا، وَلكِنْ شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبُوا) .
قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ: فَقَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ، فَوَجَدْنَا مَرَاحِيضَ بُنِيَتْ قِبَلَ القِبْلَةِ، فَنَنْحَرِفُ، وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ الله تَعَالَى.
Abu Ayyūb al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you go to a place to relieve yourselves, do not turn your face or back toward the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, but face east or west.'' Abu Ayyūb said: ''When we arrived in Syria, we found privies built facing the Ka‘bah. So, we would turn away from it and ask Allah, the Exalted, for forgiveness.''
