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).]

Arabic text

145 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ، وَاسِعِ بْنِ حَبَّانَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: إِنَّ نَاسًا يَقُولُونَ إِذَا قَعَدْتَ عَلَى حَاجَتِكَ فَلاَ تَسْتَقْبِلِ القِبْلَةَ وَلاَ بَيْتَ المَقْدِسِ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: لَقَدْ ارْتَقَيْتُ يَوْمًا عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَيْتٍ لَنَا، فَرَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ «عَلَى لَبِنَتَيْنِ، مُسْتَقْبِلًا بَيْتَ المَقْدِسِ لِحَاجَتِهِ». وَقَالَ: لَعَلَّكَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى أَوْرَاكِهِمْ؟ فَقُلْتُ: لاَ أَدْرِي وَاللَّهِ. قَالَ مَالِكٌ: يَعْنِي الَّذِي يُصَلِّي وَلاَ يَرْتَفِعُ عَنِ الأَرْضِ، يَسْجُدُ وَهُوَ لاَصِقٌ بِالأَرْضِ
