9. A narration was reported from Abū Ayyūb which said: (The Prophet ﷺ said:) "When one of you comes to the Ghā'it, then let him not face the Qiblah while defecating or urinating, but rather let him turn east or west." - (Abū Ayyūb said): "So we arrived in Ash-Shām, and found that restrooms which were built facing towards the Qiblah. So we would turn ourselves in another direction, and seek Allah's forgiveness." (Saḥih)
9 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدُ بْنُ مُسَرْهَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، رِوَايَةً قَالَ: «إِذَا أَتَيْتُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا تَسْتَقْبِلُوا الْقِبْلَةَ بِغَائِطٍ وَلَا بَوْلٍ، وَلَكِنْ شَرِّقُوا أَوْ غَرِّبُوا» فَقَدِمْنَا الشَّامَ، فَوَجَدْنَا مَرَاحِيضَ قَدْ بُنِيَتْ قِبَلَ الْقِبْلَةِ، فَكُنَّا نَنْحَرِفُ عَنْهَا وَنَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ

"So we arrived..." meaning; Abū Ayyūb, one of the narrators of the prohibition explained that the companions acted upon it, even is structures.
