English translation

323. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "I saw the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ in his (constructed) toilet, facing towards the Qiblah." (Da'if) (One of the narrators) 'Īsā said: "I told that to Sha'bi, and he said: Ibn 'Umar spoke the truth and Abu Hurairah spoke the truth. As for the words of Abu Hurairah, he said: "In the desert do not face the Qiblah nor turning one's back towards it." As for the words of Ibn 'Umar, he said: "In the (constructed) toilet there is no Qiblah so turn in whatever direction you want." Another chain with similar wording.

323 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، عَنْ عِيسَى الْحَنَّاطِ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: فِي كَنِيفِهِ، مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ " قَالَ عِيسَى، فَقُلْتُ ذَلِكَ لِلشَّعْبِيِّ، فَقَالَ: صَدَقَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ، وَصَدَقَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ أَمَّا قَوْلُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، فَقَالَ: «فِي الصَّحْرَاءِ، لَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَلَا يَسْتَدْبِرْهَا» وَأَمَّا قَوْلُ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، فَإِنَّ الْكَنِيفَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ قِبْلَةٌ، اسْتَقْبِلْ فِيهِ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ " قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ: وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو حَاتِمٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ
