7. 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Yazīd reported that someone said to Salmān Al-Fārīsī: "Has your Prophet taught you everything, even how to defecate?" He replied, "Yes! He ﷺ prohibited us from facing the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, and from cleansing ourselves with our right hands, and from cleansing ourselves with less than three stones or with dung or bones." (Sahih)

Arabic text

7 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ: قِيلَ لَهُ لَقَدْ عَلَّمَكُمْ نَبِيُّكُمْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى الْخِرَاءَةَ، قَالَ: أَجَلْ لَقَدْ «نَهَانَا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ نَسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةَ بِغَائِطٍ أَوْ بَوْلٍ، وَأَنْ لَا نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِالْيَمِينِ، وَأَنْ لَا يَسْتَنْجِيَ أَحَدُنَا بِأَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَحْجَارٍ، أَوْ نَسْتَنْجِيَ بِرَجِيعٍ أَوْ عَظْمٍ»
