Arabic hadith text

وَعَن سلمَان قَالَ: نَهَانَا يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ لِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بَوْل أَو أَن نستنتجي بِالْيَمِينِ أَوْ أَنْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ أَوْ أَنْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِرَجِيعٍ أَوْ بِعَظْمٍ. رَوَاهُ مُسلم

Translation

Salmān said: ‘He—that is, the Messenger of God—forbade us to face the qibla when defecating or urinating, to clean ourselves with the right hand, to use fewer than three stones for cleansing, or to clean ourselves with dung or bone.’ Muslim transmitted it.

Translation notes

  • The accompanying grading labels this report ṣaḥīḥ (sound). The Arabic explicitly identifies the one who forbade these acts as the Messenger of God.
