وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِنَّمَا أَنَا لَكُمْ مِثْلُ الْوَالِدِ لِوَلَدِهِ أُعَلِّمُكُمْ إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ وَلَا تَسْتَدْبِرُوهَا وَأَمَرَ بِثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ وَنَهَى عَنِ الرَّوْثِ وَالرِّمَّةِ وَنَهَى أَنْ يَسْتَطِيبَ الرَّجُلُ بِيَمِينِهِ. رَوَاهُ ابْنُ مَاجَهْ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ
Abū Hurayra reported that the Messenger of God said: ‘I am to you like a father to his child, teaching you. When you go to relieve yourselves, do not face the qibla or turn your backs to it.’ He ordered the use of three stones, forbade dung and decayed bone, and forbade a man to clean himself with his right hand. Ibn Mājah and al-Dārimī transmitted it.
Translation notes
The accompanying grading labels this report ḥasan (good). The Arabic distinguishes the instruction about facing the qibla from the subsequent commands and prohibitions concerning cleansing.
