English translation
145. Narrated 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar رضي الله عنهما: People say, "Whenever you sit for answering the call of nature, you should not face the Qiblah or Bait-ul-Maḥdīs (Jerusalem)." I told them, "Once I went up the roof of our house and I saw Allāh's Messenger ﷺ answering the call of nature while sitting on two bricks facing Bait-ul-Maḥdīs [but there was a screen covering him. (Faṭh Al-Bārī, Vol. I, page 258).]
