Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ ارْتَقَيْتُ فَوْقَ ظَهْرِ بَيْتِ حَفْصَةَ لِبَعْضِ حَاجَتِي، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ مُسْتَدْبِرَ الْقِبْلَةِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الشَّأْمِ‏.‏

Translation

Ibrahim ibn al-Mundhir narrated to us, saying: Anas ibn 'Iyad narrated to us, from 'Ubayd Allah, from Muhammad ibn Yahya ibn Habban, from Wasi' ibn Habban, from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Umar, who said: I climbed onto the roof of Hafsah’s house for one of my needs and saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) relieving himself with his back toward the qiblah and his face toward Syria.
