Original Arabic

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْخَلَاءَ، فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا، وَلْيُشَرِّقْ وَلْيُغَرِّبْ " قَالَ أَبُو أَيُّوبَ: " فَلَمَّا أَتَيْنَا الشَّامَ وَجَدْنَا مَقَاعِدَ تَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ فَجَعَلْنَا نَنْحَرِفُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ " (٢)،

Translation

English translation

It is narrated from Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When any one of you goes to the toilet, he should not face the Qiblah, rather he should turn towards the east or the west. But when we reached Syria, we found that the toilets there were built facing the Qiblah, so we would turn our faces away while sitting in them and seek forgiveness.
