22. It was narrated that Abû Ayyûb Al-Anşârî said: "The Messenger of Allâh ﷻ said: 'When any one of you goes to defecate, let him not face toward the Qiblah, rather let him face toward the east or the west.'" (Sahîh)

Arabic text

22 - أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا غُنْدَرٌ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا ابْنُ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا أَتَى أَحَدُكُمُ الْغَائِطَ فَلَا يَسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ، وَلَكِنْ لِيُشَرِّقْ أَوْ لِيُغَرِّبْ»
